It’s funny how recognizing AI art nowadays is just the same old rules as recognizing the fae in old tales.

“Count the fingers, count the knuckles, count the teeth, check the shadows…”

… and under NO circumstances should you make deals with their kind.

@erkhyan pitch: a story where it looks like a fantasy folktale about humans and the fey and the reader gradually realizes it's a far-future world and the "fey" are, like, ancient/autonomously evolving artificial constructs

The Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky
https://www.amazon.com/Elder-Race-Adrian-Tchaikovsky-ebook/dp/B08QGJHS7N/

Set in the far flung future on another planet entirely, it features a princess (proper) a Grand Sorcerer (not even close, yet also.. close enough) and a "Demon" ravaging the countryside, threatening all the kingdom. One of my favorite authors.

@ZenithAstralis @erkhyan I love the Children of Time series (can't remember the proper name for it) but haven't read any of his other work, will have to check that one out!
