"Beach" is a verb in the Barbie film, maybe that's their inspiration
or they've fired too many people and replaced them with a garbage text generator (so called "AI")

I just came across an AI-generated book cover.

Honestly I'm surprised I haven't seen one before... at least not one that's got that explicit artificial look.

The flowers floating off into space, the wonky-looking legs (at least they don't have any extra ones)...oh yeah and that screwed-up bench. It's not even good AI art, lol.

Hmm. I actually like the cover. Not that it makes me buy the book, not my genre. But the cover is kinda cute, IMO. Even if it's obviously artificial.

It's cute in an Exorcist pea-soup kind of way.

A lot of cozy mysteries have that style of cover, but actually made by artists who know what they're doing.

Yes, I've seen lots of them when browsing, but most of them don't evoke this "awww" feeling in me. Dunno, maybe I just have bad taste.
