Note to authors about using "AI" art to promote your work

I really hate to say this bluntly but I'm going to say it. I will not boost your stuff if you're using "AI" art in the cover or in the promotional material.

There's a lot of other people who won't either.

I would rather see the cringiest possible clip art than see hot "AI" garbage. I'd rather see the same five public domain photos off of Pixabay and Unsplash again and again than see "AI" garbage.

We don't want LLMs fucking with the writers' side of things. Don't use generated images to fuck with the artists' side of things.
