I've tried several image geneators but I think I'm feeling Aitubo's multi-modal image generator more than all the others including Ideogram and Leonardo and even ChatGPt at least when it comes to book covers. First two is the same image prompt generated by Ideogram, second two is Aitubo's Flux. Aitubo wins every time. Your thoughts?

Hey Creators, Happy Sunday! I was looking at the board where I get some of my contract assignments...not AI...but regular professional work, and I usually see in the job posting that you agree NOT TO USE AI on the job for any of the work! Obviously these are anti-AI companies. The thing is that they really can't control this because you do not have to use their laptop to use AI when it's on our phones and we all have our own computers but still they try it because they haven't gotten with the AI program yet. BUT I understand where they are coming from. Some people are applying for jobs and getting them who really donot have the expertise they said they had and hope that AI is going to fill in the blanks. Nope! AI will not completely fill in the blanks if you don't have the foundation! AI is a helpmate NOT a 100% do it FOR YOU mate if you don't have enough expertise to know if what the AI is recommending or putting together is right or not..if that makes sense. AI is a shortcut and time saver to do things faster but if you don't know it in the first place you are not going to be able to do a great job or answer any questions that will come up if you solely rely on the AI which can't be relied on 100% as of yet even with less hallucinations. So, I just found it refreshing that this particular role was encouraging AI use. Did I apply for it? Nope...because of exactly what I just said... I do not have any expertise in what the role was and even if I could convince someone to hire me I wouldn't be successful in that role because I would have to rely 100% on AI and that's just not going to work. Plus, it wasn't even paying anywhere near my fee. So, I say all this to say, Yes! Use AI to improve what you already know and do but don't use it if you have no knowledge at all about what you are using it for because then you won't be able to know what's good or what's bad or doesn't work. BUT you can practice on building up new expertise using AI and then when you feel comfortable in your skills, go for the new work. But do it before you get the job not once you get it or you are setting yourself up for failure and ruining your professional reputation AND giving AI a bad name at the same time. How is it giving AI a bad name? Because once they figure out you know nothing and it's all AI they will blame anyone using AI and put them in the same bucket assuming anyone who uses AI doesn't know the role or doesn't have the expertise. I actually know this for a fact because one time when I was interviewing with the recruiter for a role and they saw AI on my resume they said, Oh don't tell them you use AI because another person was using AI and didn't know what they were doing and it made the company not trust AI. Some one bad apple ruins the whole bunch. Obviously, that was a person in over their head thinking AI can do the all when they knew nothing and couldn't tell the difference, got caught, and made it bad for anyone using AI to do things quicker, not 100%. But I ended up landing that contract and of course I used AI to do somethings faster but I just didn't tell them. They didn't ask, so I didn't tell.

Hey Creators, I used New Hero and Gamma to update one of the ebooks I created. I used New Hero for the images because it has a character trainor and instead of using stock images of say a woman meeting with clients, I decided why not I put images of myself meeting with clients instead of using "stock" photos? So, I updated all the images to show my face. After doing so I was like this is the first time I see my face all over a product! I think I pulled an "Oprah"! But since I'm talking about AI I think it works. I mean, why show random women doing what I do...building, coaching, teaching, consulting, mentoring... instead of showing myself? Let's see how it goes over. But I think it came out so much nicer but I did put 6 hours into it just updating the images. I' very picky about all the images I use. Didn't change any of the text or layout except for maybe on two pages out of the 40+ pages. But I tend to be a perfectionist that's why I spent 6 hours. It was probably okay at hour 2! LOL

Welp… looks like Gamma’s hitting the brakes on that unlimited AI magic we’ve been spoiled with. 🚦💔 Starting Oct 1, they’re switching to a credit system for even paid plans for certain AI enhancements —because apparently millions of us showed up and broke the buffet. 😂 Unlimited was fun while it lasted. Pour one out for the good old days. 🥂✨

Hey Creators, I decided to create my first roleplaying character on C.AI! I'm going with C.A.E.L from The Replacement. I'm doing a test to see how this will work from a marketing perspective for the book. I anticipate it to be live this weekend or by Monday for sure. Attached is the full cover image, front and back for the print version. For the ebook, you only need the front cover. So, I spent over 5 hours today getting it to look just right. I think it came out great. Can't wait to get the printed paperback in my hand! I wait with baited breath! Let me know what you think.
