I wanted to take a moment to welcome @Kylie Lupinetti she was the one who was getting book bullied for using AI after sharing her wins people attacked her and maliciously left her book negative reviews because they were angry she used AI. Lets take a moment to instead celebrate the work she did as a creator and busy mom. Her book Binky Bandit is an adorable story to help moms get toddlers off their binkys! Such an original idea in a way to help kiddos and moms. ➡️ Get Her Book on Amazon Even something as simple as sharing it will help. ❤️ Thank you all for showing up and always being positive here. (Sorry for the shorter message guys I am at the work office today)

The other day, I came across a Facebook post from a smaller creator who was celebrating a milestone. She had published a children's book on Amazon KDP and was excited to share that she had made 𝟮𝟱 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗦! 🎉 Something that should have been celebrated quickly turned UGLY. People started ATTACKING her in the comments, calling her work "AI slop," threatening to report her book to Amazon, and trying to tear down what should have been a proud moment. And for what? Because she used AI to help create her book? Thankfully, this creator was handling the situation with CLASS. She wasn't engaging with the bullies or feeding into the negativity. I don't personally know this woman, but I'm not blind to what's happening. And I can only imagine how frustrating it must feel to share something you're proud of, only to have strangers try to destroy your excitement. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱. 👇 🤖 𝟭. 𝗔𝗜 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗭𝗢𝗡 𝗞𝗗𝗣'𝗦 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘𝗦. I think there's a HUGE misunderstanding about AI-generated content and Amazon's publishing policies. Amazon DOES allow AI-generated content, provided it follows their content guidelines. And here's something a lot of the people screaming about AI don't even realize... 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗔𝗜-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. What Amazon DOES require is that you disclose AI-generated text, images, or translations during the KDP publishing process. That includes AI-generated cover art and interior illustrations. There's also a distinction between AI-generated and AI-assisted content. Amazon does not require disclosure when AI was only used to assist with things like brainstorming, editing, or proofreading your own work. The important thing is to follow Amazon's rules, be truthful in your disclosures, respect intellectual property rights, and create books that provide value to your readers. 💛 𝟮. 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗚𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗨𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦. Whether you're creating children's books, coloring books, journals, workbooks, or full-length novels, you need to understand something... Not everyone is going to be nice about what you're building.

I wanted to share my win and how extremely happy and grateful I am to be part of this group, and for helping me on my new children’s author journey 🌼 When I opened and saw the book I instantly felt emotional… as I turned the pages and yes I did smell them lol I began to cry. Such an amazing feeling and thats only the proof copy! 🤣 The proof copy is amazing! I first sat with the book, the feeling and enjoyed the moment. Today I hit publish! Coco is in review 🤩 My plan is to launch 11/11🚀 I really want to give a huge shout out to @Krista Brea for everything you do here! But also to everyone in this group … please keep going… follow your dreams, even if it’s taking you on a new path and a new dream like me. 💫 Looking forward to Coco Is Love going live soon! 🌼
