Hi P.Bees!

OK, so a few days ago, I made a post asking what the PageBound Public thinks about Dark Romance. And I really enjoyed reading through different opinions and thoughts. So I decided to bring in a new discussion topic: about A.I. in books.

This spans from using AI in a creative process to using its exact words and paragraphs to write the book or to even use AI art as the cover. There are two discussions under this really, bc there is the discussion of how A.I in general is harming our society in many ways, and how A.I undermines the very creativity in writing (and other art forms). Some people think that A.I. has its incredible uses and even when not writing the book itself, can bring in a wealth of information or ideas at the writer's disposal. While some believe that A.I, like I explained earlier, not only negatively affects the general public, but undermines real human creativity, ideas, capabilities, and soul.

So! Feel free to discuss any part of this prompt, whether it's for or against A.I, or an in-between, and give reason why.

I'm wondering if this is a common experience. except for classics, I have hated every single book I bought because of book influencers. I vowed never to fall for online hype again (several times in fact) since I know I'm very picky about the books I enjoy. But here I am again, contemplating reading Red Rising, even though I'm 95% sure it's not for me :))
