Oh wow. What a situation this is. I hope you can generate a conversation about this. And I think you're selling your own writing short.
I've hired human illustrators off of fiverr.com or even twitter (now X) for very reasonable rates. And I am fruuuuugal. I don't see how these for-profit generators trained on datasets obtained under these cloudy "not-for-profit research" rationales can help capitalism flourish
"I wrote the text (it originated as lyrics for a song) but generated the illustrations using AI (DALL-E via ChatGPT).
Because AI software is trained on human illustrators’ work without compensation,
I’m donating 10 percent of the book’s revenues to The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization."
what a swell guy, eh, JH? How 'bout you hire a living, breathing illustrator and pay 'em money to produce your illustrations? Then they can donate some of that money to the charity if they so choose, and also, maybe, pay their rent?
