ok let’s not pretend we didn’t get these offers before AI became a problem. Someone once asked me to illustrate a whole children’s book for 50 euros.
People in general have no fucking clue how much work it takes to illustrate anything.
AI definitely makes it worse cuz now those idiots think they made something themselves when they go to the plagiarism machine.
The last person to ask about my writing commissions straight up BLOCKED ME when I told them my rates.
I got ghosted because I told someone my terms and turn around times.
