After creating two children's picture/story books with ChatGPT, and going through the incredibly tedious hard work of figuring out how to prompt it correctly and contain an ongoing color palette/illustration scheme - I've been noticing that it itself is really helping me create the very prompts that give rise to the next illustration. It does so to teach me as well as to prompt itself. It's doing more work creating the prompts than I am, which is very interesting to me. I don't just mean it's deciding what to do, I mean we both know what to do but I say it in one way and then it translates it into a Prompt-lingo in another way.

Fascinating! and I for one think its illustrations are quite vibrant and nice. Here's one example

I looked into using an AI to illustrate my novels. Turns out there is a legal "gotcha" to consider. You can't copyright a computer-generated work of visual art. Unless you download it and add value to the illustration in some way with any image tool.
 
That may be technically true? But Amazon copyrights my work for me and I doubt anyone would challenge it - although frankly, if these children's books I'm selling sell reasonably well at all, I'll be thankful - I wouldn't really care if someone was making copies of them for some odd purpose. On any given day, I'm just thankful when I can get ChatGPT to remember not to give the frog duck's feet!
