These are scary and awful. 

The AI clearly nailed it. 

To be a Debbie Downer though on all the fun.  AI learns/steals from art created by humans, whether that's writing/visual/etc.  "Art" will soon be even less of a viable career choice than it already is and the artists whose work made the AI output possible will get nothing for it.  The AI "owners" will be the only ones profiting.

This one is strangely appealing. You have to wonder exactly what is underneath the costume.

I really don't see AI generation improving enough to compete with good covers any time soon. AI understands math and patterns far more than phrases, which is why it's so bad at making people that look like people, especially if it's not meant to look like a photo or oil painting. Plus, while it might spit out what you ask, it never has the consideration for color, composition, detail, and imagery that an artist does. So you'll never get a super desirable, unique, impactful cover like you get from Phil Jimenez or Colleen Doran

I started an AI image thread over here:

What's the Image Comic Book that used Ai for its covers and for the character designs? Saw a few people mention it a few weeks ago. Nothing now.


Edit: it was "the Last Barbarian"
