as someone who started a substack recently, having the AI image generator make cover art is a nice convenience as I neither have the time to do it myself or the cash flow to hire someone. I'm not going to use stock images because then I'd get watermarks and The AI gen is slightly more professional seeming.

There is a youtube channel that uses AI to illustrate it sci/fi fantasy narrative about a multiversal extraplanar setting called "The Archive In-between" which uses a dreamlike retro aesthetic which really fits well with AI generated imagery. Most people who are fans agree this is a FANTASTIC use for AI.

    Counterpoint: if I see a generated image then I'm immediately checked out, and I know of many, many people who do the same. Doodling on a post-it would be preferable

    counter-counterpoint: I'm trying to develop branding, and if it gets popular enough, the intent is to get an artist. Also I'm just starting out.

    Fwiw you get stock photos without watermarks when you buy the right to use them
