Beyond disappointed when I see genuine creatives resorting to these things and removing their own agency as creators.
CW: AI Image. Thanks to nostr:npub1fgle6lnth5pces3v5hayhvdsaqg7r842gxhg9fh5a7l66jm2qp3q0w4jl4 and his #writingWonders 8.4 response, I actually tried another AI generator named #Gencraft (not that I'd ever use AI to create something actual publication), but I got the following. Mind you, no wings and it defaulted (or course) to caucian, but it is something.
It is missing the sense of the character being fae, vulnerable, and mysterious. These are things I'm sure my cover artist would make happen.

I pointed out that I use a cover artist for real work. My understanding of how AI works is they don't use prompts to train them. That's done by spidering the web for posted images or by being feed scans of actual image. In any case, I am only playing with /free/ alternatives, so I am not even supporting the developers or their venture capitalists.
