I’ve been on and off Wattpad for years now and it’s weird coming back and almost every cover of any book on this platform is straight up AI now. I remember the days where you could either have someone make you one or use Wattpad’s shitty cover making app, or make your own with pictures you found on Pinterest or Google. The good ole days.

@storiesbyandy_ I agree. I've brought it up to them before that they need to establish a harsher, clearer stance, because people ARE writing books with AI. It's become such a pervasive issue that it legitimately makes me want to take my books elsewhere. The amount of slop on here now is just ... insane.

@Olivaughn Wattpad should really do something about this because it implies that they could also being AI to write their books too or if the books are just straight AI generated stories.

I kind of want to create a small group of writers, who talk about their work and send each other each week or so a chapter from their novels starting from the beginning and then we kind of talk about what we like from it and get feedback off of it.
          
          My goal from this is so everyone kind of can get help with their stories but not in a way that it gets taken over by other people’s suggestions though, like it’s only feedback and we kind of have different week or a few days out of the week where focus on a certain thing someone is struggling on. 
          
          I will in control of the group in the sense that I want everyone to have a fair chance with their stories and what they want to say and to keep it civil. I might have someone be an admin if I can’t watch over the chat. I do want to keep it writers and to limit it around a few people. Like at the most five people. 
          
          I’ll try to make a Google form for it, to kind of scope out the details and picking people or something. I’ll probably post this on Tumblr, Wattpad and maybe, TikTok if that works.
