After my last post I realized, blog posts, especially long posts, look terrible without a picture or two to break things up. But this is a fantasy blog and I’m not an artist. Should I start paying someone to draw pictures that aren’t likely to accomplish anything other than breaking up my post text? Should I just start adding random photos? Neither of those seem particularly useful, so I opted for the latest - if not most controversial - tool on the market, AI.
I won’t dig into the ethics of using AI, this isn’t the place for that, but I can assure you, no writer or artist was put out of a job by me using AI. Instead, I’m using this as a thought exercise to help tease out some ideas and thoughts based on what’s in my head for several of these stories.
So what I plan to do, for every post that doesn’t have an obvious accompanying image, I’m going to add a random, AI generated image that is something in some way related to something I intend to write about in some form of fashion.
For now, sit back and enjoy.
