00:00The book threads community is absolutely on fire over a new young adult novel about a pregnant
00:04chimpanzee. The book titled Steps to Tomorrow is marketed as a story about Zola and her journey
00:09with bodily autonomy. But the cover the author posted has people wondering what's going on.
00:14Because the very obvious AI champ that was generated for the cover has people pointing
00:18out that it was generated with features directly mirroring those of black American women. And the
00:23author named Paul stated he is a former ICU nurse living with PTSD and wrote this book to heal from
00:28his own maternity care trauma. But now with all the backlash Paul is doubling down calling critics
00:32monsters for attacking a disabled author. But an alleged insider hints that this is not Paul's
00:37first time. Now the community thinks he might be rage baiting for marketing especially as one of
00:42his posts has an update showing a completely different real cover. So is this a genuine
00:47author mistake or does Paul just know exactly how to get his name out there? Share your thoughts
00:51and follow what's trending for more updates.
