One of the things that is depressing about Generative AI and imagery is that the outputs all start to look the same - high gloss illustration/ animation-y.

Today the only popular magazine cover that features art in the states is The New Yorker. Previously Life, Time and others often featured original art.

This link features a set of prints from agricultural magazine covers of the previous century. The amazing thing is the wide diversity of art and styles and even mediums.

We need AI to clean bathrooms not do art.

You are soooooo on point with what we need AI for! If you’d post the cleaning bathrooms quote alone I’d love to repost it !

Yesssss! Also illustrators are generally not cost prohibitive for a publication. Most pay more for photo subscriptions or useless syndications
