The other day, my wife was looking at a book catalog. I looked over her shoulder at all the book covers organized by genre and had an intrusive thought: shit, book cover designer will be like the first career taken by AI…

I’m sad to see it happening.

AI art can be pretty cool but nothing to me tops the insane cover art of vintage speculative fiction. The artists who worked on those were incredible. I’d be sad to see all indie work perish.
