@MikeDunnAuthor a shame about the use of AI for the cover illustration. Authors should be unified with artists in their rejection of its use.

  1. How do you know it's AI?
  2. Agreed about the solidarity. However, most writers are lucky to be able to get a publisher in the 1st place. Few have the money to pay for hand drawn art. And in this case, I believe the art was done by a book cover art company. There are lots of such company's out there. If this is AI, maybe most of them are using AI

@MikeDunnAuthor 1. I’m an illustrator with 20 years experience so it’s quite obvious to me. But take a look at it closely and you’ll see plenty of hallmarks particularly in the chest area.
2. Illustrators make very little too, but I think you’d agree that using an AI to write a visual novel instead of contracting a writer would be unethical.
