    I’m an author working on an online story series. Just finished S04. My editing was shit and I could not afford to pay someone to do it for me.

    So I write the story, rewrite the story, put it through GPT to point out irregularities, grammatical errors, inconsistencies etc, then run it through Zoho’s Zia for more checks and finally polish it off with a final edit of my own. This whole process takes around a year.

    Overall, quality improved, I was able to turn around stuff quicker and it made me a lot more confident about the stuff I am putting out there.

    I also use Bing image creator for the artwork and have seen my artwork improve dramatically from what Dream (Wombo) used to generate.

    Now I am trying to save up to get a good GPU so that I can run Stable Diffusion so that I can turn it into a graphic novel.

    Naturally I would like to work with an artist cause I can’t draw but everyone I meet asks for 20 - 30k dollars deposit to do the thing. Collaborations have been discussed and what I’ve learnt is that as times get tough, people are requesting for greater shares in the project than I, the originator, have. At some point when I was discussing with an artist, he was side lining me and becoming the main character. I’m not saying that all artists are like this, but dang, people can be tough to deal with.

    I respect that people have to eat, but I can’t afford that and I have had this dream for years so finally I get a chance to pull it off. My dream can’t die without me giving it my best so this is where I am with AI.
