I've updated the Lessirova Coming Soon page with an example of what the art might look like.

This is much better than the old one.

im not against ai but also not for it. Like others have said im ok if it is used as a place holder and replaced later. Im also in favor of the idea benhur over said.

Would people be willing to have things like... idk just lineart and it gets colored later kinda deal? I understand thats a less finished product but I dont need it to be a full color spread to find it enticing. Take a page out of the Manga industry standards? I suppose thats a poor comparison as they are razor thin profit margins.

Yeah, totally agree. It’s pretty much the same thing RawlyRawls does. They put out the text version first, then the sketch, and finally the fully illustrated comic.
Not only does that give you extra content to enjoy, but it also works like progress updates on the project, which is always a big plus for me. I love getting as much info as possible about any ongoing project I’m into.

My opinion of AI imagery is that Pandoras box has been opened and not making use of the technology is a fruitless resistance. The artists that were gonna be fucked by it, have been, and so long as people are responsible with it moving forward it greatly diminishes the negative stigma associated with it. That said... I would still prefer no art and inserting human made artwork later over the use of AI at all, even for temporary imagery.

It feels sad that despite years of direct financial support to this site it's still not enough to fund such a project properly.

Just my two cents

We have a very fancy status page if you are wondering if the site is down for you or everyone.

I also really dislike AI art and would not read/play Lessirova if that's what it was.

The substantial use of genai images (they are not and can never be art) would mean I would unsubscribe and probably not be back.

Just finished watching Speed Dating, and it’s really impressive (for an AI video). It’s easily the best one on the site so far. I’m excited and hopeful to see longer, higher quality videos in the future (and with a slower induction, pretty please?).

I personally strongly disagree with any of the use cases for LLMs, particularly for art.

I'll also take the hits for not being a strong fan of the multi-path stories, and even less so as it has seemed that those are pulling the resources away from everything else being created.
