I was just not wanting to upset some of the people who do use AI. I know of at least three people on this forum who do use AI for their novel covers (one of who I've interacted with a lot and have a lot of respect for) so my thoughts went to those people initially when making this.
I don't blame 'em for using it. I can see the appeal, and Stability has been extremely underhanded in the legalities of the art produced and how it works. I think they've tricked a lot of people.
I do think AI art is awful in pretty much every way legally and ethically, but that's my own views (and I guess most people here).
I suspect those who do use AI are probably less likely to respond here since the whole thread is basically against what they've used, but I still want 'em to have the knowledge of what's going on so they can make changes to protect their writing.
If you have a look at a number of the swarms of promote posts, there's a good bit of AI art for a lot of the novel covers.
