Once again, I'm pleading with authors not to use AI-generated covers. I keep seeing them being shared. I'm not going to buy your book if you do, and I'm not going to share your posts about them.

If you see enough of it, you start to recognise it. Details that don't match up. Even if the fingers are right, there will be hair strands that don't make sense, details like windows on buildings, a certain common texture on clothes and skin, and a bunch of other things.
This!!! If someone uses AI art to promote their book or article or whatever, then I assume they couldn't be bothered to write the content themselves and don't actually care that much.
The choice is made all the more bizarre by the fact that genAI fans want to use it to 'write' books, meaning that:
1. You, as an author, should understand the fears about job security and artistic integrity, and in solidarity support human artists just as you want to be supported as a human author.
2. Readers who want human writing (i.e. lots of people, and the fans you want) might see your book covered in AI art and wonder: if there's AI on the outside, how do I know there's no AI on the inside, in the writing?
You're aligning yourself with AI and throwing doubt on your own (human) work!
