General

If what you refer to, as AI, is Large Language Models, then they are a very bad tool. There is a very good talk which explains what constitutes a good tool:

What matters are purpose, context, and responsibility. People set the goals, choose the training data, and decide how outputs are used. So you can't simply be "for" or "against" AI; the real question is where its use delivers clear benefit and where risks, misuse, or discrimination outweigh the gains.

Those who use AI deliberately and skillfully amplify their abilities: it becomes a productivity, analysis, and creativity multiplier. Those who use it only to confirm existing biases or to shortcut critical thinking stagnate or worsen problems. What matters is education, digital literacy, transparent rules, and responsible governance — not the technology itself.

We are talking about generative AI. And in that case, it's pretty straightforward - especially for the creative types.

Creativity is varied — for some generative AI is unnecessary; for others, a useful tool. There is no obligation either way — I have no problem if someone chooses not to use generative AI.

AI is a huge turn off for me personally! It really sucks that a lot of story covers are AI now.

Well, I guess its only fair that AI gets to have a say in this too.

I'll try adding typos and grammatical mistakes, then I won't seem so 'soulless'. After all, AI is highly adaptive and trainable.

Ewww I know who I'm blocking

Please name specifically what bothers you — then we can talk about it calmly. Otherwise I respect your decision.

AI is a creative tool. Develop skill when you use it and you can get some entertaining results. However it's a bit like the morphs of old, can be used to deceive or to imagine.
