According to Wilson, the Ockham awards committee alerted publishers to an amendment to the eligibility conditions in August, outlawing AI covers. He thought the books he entered for the Acorn Jann Medlicott fiction prize were on safe ground but was belatedly told by the designer that the covers were heavily reliant on AI.
“Designer”. Also, who the hell pays another person to generate images for them? Isn’t that the point of this bullshit tech? To “democratize art”, as the techbros keep claiming?
B.b.b.b.but It allows anyone without artistic talent to learn use AI prompting to produce something that they could never create themselves (without practice).
We’ll ignore how this makes the “prompt artist” completely reliant on a handful of corporations.
