The thing about AI is that they want us to believe that this sort of just passable BS is adequate and suffices when it sucks and does not. In pretty much every case.

I think artists should get to sign the art they make for book covers. It should be right there, on the front, because it’s never been more important to showcase the humanness of art. And also there are many times when I see a beautiful cover and wonder, “Who made this?”
