In May, The Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (SPFBO) cover contest, an annual competition run by author Mark Lawrence, becomes embroiled in controversy.
The SPFBO’s cover contest explicitly forbids using AI tools, and the winning artist, Sean Mauss, initially insisted that he had made the art himself.
Later, other authors started to suspect they had unwittingly paid for AI-generated work by Mauss.
Williams explains that she uses a mixture of raw and art department in selecting the cover artists.
She does not use machine-generated art, she says, because she finds it easier to hide it in her art department and thus it may be easier forAI-generated covers to evade detection.
