 I'm seeing authors using gen-AI to create book covers with faces that are recognizably stolen from actors. 

HOW DARE YOU. Forget the fact that you should be sued for that... HOW DARE YOU steal an actor's likeness while they're on strike because the studio execs won't pay them and want to do THE SAME THING (steal their likeness with AI). You're not just violating ethics — you're a second-rate villain at that point.

Considering the absolute shambles of Kindle Unlimited and real authors being crowded out of their own work by AI generated word salad books... 

But grifters gonna grift.
