@ratfactor Given the time-frame in which the book/cover came out (I believe it was on the draft I did tech-review on in Aug 20224), I would have serious doubts as to whether it was AI-generated. Possibly a mediocre-Photoshop-job, but AI image-generation in that timeframe was pretty horrible.

@gumnos I hate playing pixel detective and I already regret looking into this, but here's Dave Thomas from the newsletter titled "Be a Luddite; Embrace AI": https://sh1.sendinblue.com/3i4bourirglpfe.html > On the one hand, AI seems to be reducing people's need for books. On the other hand, if we use an AI generated image on a cover, our support folks get a bunch of "I'll never buy from you again" emails. Glad to hear I'm at least not alone. 😂
