While Manteufel & Co. have nothing against assistive AI programs and their continued development, Man Devil Press is against the use of generative AI in the creative spaces: AI-generated scripts, art, music, videos, etc. Put simply, 100% artificial creations with 0% human soul.
Therefore the books officially published by Richelle Manteufel and Man Devil Press do not contain and will never contain any intentional use of generative AI, including generated text, prompts, or stock photos. Any instances of AI-generated stock images, whether published or used promotionally, are accidental and by no means condoned by the author.
Any works stolen from this author/imprint and republished – including AI-narrated audiobooks – are not genuine products from this author. Please do not purchase or redistribute them.
GenAI “creations” aren’t just bad news for creatives, but for our society at large. Enthusiastic acceptance and consumption of GenAI books will encourage more. The more the market is flooded with GenAI products, the more people will overlook our treasure trove of human artists, and the more our precious artists will become discouraged and abandon their efforts. Imagine a dystopian world where the art has no soul because there are no more artists. Do you want to live there? We certainly do not.
Thank you to all our beloved readers for supporting hardworking authors and their 100% human publications! We literally can’t go on without you.
