I would like to use the image I created for a book cover and sell it, would that be okay? Or would that be illegal?

    i once wanted to read a book, and upon closer inspection saw it was ai generated cover. I put it down, and left. it just doesnt feel real i guess. so even if legal, i wouldnt recommend it. just snap some picture remotely related and put some Text and color filters over it.

      Wow, so you literally never learned to not judge a book by its cover? That is some admirable honestly, a really brave confession.

        I also take idioms literally, I read the entire book right there before deciding whether to buy it. Obviously you can’t trust how they chose to present the book so you need to read it to know if it’s worth reading.

          I mean, judging by a title, a synopsis, or a review would all be a better method than the cover art.

        well, a books cover can tell you a LOT, Like the time it was written in, which is one of the core factors when i choose a book. Also regarding people, I used to be tolerant and excpect nothing, but it got me nowhere so now I openly do my silent judging, and I’m mostly right with my first impressions.

          They say with wine there’s an opposite correlation, the worse the label, the better the wine. I’m not sure I agree with either. Anyway, no worries, I was just teasing a bit.

      I agree. I avoid any AI gen smell. It has the hallmarks of being subpar. Any images, however esoteric, would be much better.
