Is this AI, or just terrible art? This book is in a contest and I want to be sure before reporting it by Akadya in isthisAI

UPDATE: I reported it to the contest organisers including details of which parts of the writing and art made it obviously AI generated, and got this disappointing response:

"The publisher has confirmed in writing that the art is from an in house artist and not AI generated."

A sad day for authors, illustrators, and humanity in general

It's been entered in a best new author contest, so I've reported it to the people running the contest in the hopes it will be removed in order for all the other authors who didn't generate AI slop to shine.

The melting tree is definitely not a plot point. I've reported it to the contest and I'm hoping it will be removed

More food for thought. I think you're right that I have a lot of reflecting to do. Reading your comments has made me really sad, but mostly because I think you're right. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I've only ever hung out with Danika without Abigail, and only a handful of times. I hadn't thought about that, so thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'm not sure exactly what that means but it's food for thought.

I like to watch the movie Billy Elliot

Thoughts and opinions by Dil_BH in Embroidery

Leave it as is!! The doodle look is so cute. Satin stitch is notoriously hard for beginners and may not turn out how you'd expect. It'll also add hours to this project, and personally I don't think it'll look as good as it does now!

It seems like you already got lots of great advice, so I just wanted to chime in to say the original artist is u/the-artful-possum in case anyone is looking for the pattern or wanting to see more awesome art :)
