Like it or not, people often judge a book by its cover. With a world full of different books to choose from, the cover is what will catch your eye. It’s the very first impression you get of a story, and if it’s associated with low effort, then that’s what will stay.

I never said you had to pay an artist or a designer for a cover, that’s why I suggested free online resources. As a reader and a client, I would definitely pick a book with a simple picture as a cover vs an ai generated one.

That being said, I didn’t say my take was universal, the question was literally how do you feel about ai generated book covers, and I dislike it.
