Two years ago, I wrote a post, “I Think AI Covers Have A Way To Go…”, that marvelled at the world’s first AI generated magazine cover, while at the same time suggesting that as “art,” it was lacking. Back then, faces and hands generated by AI were weird.

A year later, I wrote a follow-up post: “When I Said AI Art Wouldn’t Be On Book Covers Soon….,” that pointed out how badly I had underestimated the pace at which AI art generation would develop.

And here I am again, almost exactly a year later, shaking my head over the leaps and bound of AI image generation.
