Join host M.J. Kuhn, guest artist Chris McGrath and guest authors Gregory Kontaxis and Michael Vadney for an Indie Appreciation Month panel on Self-Publishing in the Age of AI. During the panel, Chris, Gregory and Michael discuss the ethics of AI use, whether or not we can avoid it, the deluge of AI slop, risking your reputation, prejudices against self-publishing, filtering AI vs. human-made content, cover art and working with human artists, originality and the value of human-created art, audience (dis)trust and fan backlash to AI, the performative pressures of social media, losing the struggles (and romance) of art, how AI impacts marketing/marketplaces and more.
