Thanks for showing this graphic I made for @benmsmith.com at PAX. Didn't think I'd have anything I made shown there but there we go.

This made me so happy to hear. If authors don't want the conversation to revolve around AI, then they shouldn't use it. If they're going to use it on the cover, what's stopping them from using it in the contents of the book? Let this be a lesson to everyone involved with AI art.
"In a statement, Smither said the designers spent hours working on the cover of her book, which features a steam train and an angel 'half-obscured in the smoke', inspired by artist Marc Chagall’s figures."
