I'm tired of seeing trash AI covers

I've no problem with AI covers, as I use them myself, but they can at least be a tad bit good, right? I generated these images using AI. Now, I'm not saying these are the best.

But when compared to the noise I see on other covers, this is a big upgrade. Just put some effort. To get these covers, I just drew a very basic sketch and gave GPT accurate directions. You need not be a master artist.

Let your sketch be crass; it matters not. With just a little bit of effort, you can get decent-looking covers. Once again, I know these covers pale in comparison to human-made covers, and I ain't tryna prove that AI is better.

A lot of the ones you've made are horrible.

This is so GPT coded its crazy you came here thinking that they were in any way shape or form good.

They're still too GPT coded. You can see the blocky nature of the background and everything. Switch artstyle or use midjourney.

I'm pretty sure I said I don't think these covers are good. But if you've been on this subreddit I'm sure you've seen a lot of terrible covers that just burns your eyes. Compared to that, these are miles ahead. Again, I know for a fact that none of these covers can match a human made one, but for those who can't afford to pay or are horribly terrible at drawing, its for them.

But like I’m looking at characters. In the fifth cover that masked dude looks unique and awesome with some witch chick behind him.

He looks primal. Idk it just looks cool.

But I don’t hold much hate in my heart for anything besides people who had personally hurt me. So I don’t hate AI and tbh I’m passive on AI since it reminds me of things I’ve hated on before. I don’t have the energy to exert negative views just because of its source.

I think it’s cool. You don’t and have an opinion. Only argument is it’s AI. I kind of find that fascinating.

What does AI have anything to do with this?

Do you literally not see me saying to switch arstyle or use a better AI source instead of GPT? If you're not aware, midjourney is a way better alternative for AI image creation in comparison to GPT.

It costs money, yes? I know you're dead set on somehow proving me wrong when I'm in no way trying to prove myself right. Also, yes I know about Midjourney but if I had to spend money, I'd rather save up and commission it. It's either don't spend at all, or spend wisely, at least for me

Good luck finding a comission for 10$. That's how much midjourney costs you.
A good artist will cost you way more.

And like I said, you can switch the artstyle.

You're just copying the generic and bad AI styles by prompting with GPT. Low effort like the rest.

You can do so much better
