We've found two more covers that were apparently designed with AI, so we've replaced those with very generic temporary covers until we can acquire new artwork. We have a strict no AI policy, and these artists signed contracts stating that their work was not AI.
Not really sure what happened to artistic integrity, but apparently a lot of new artists don't have it. We're a small press, so we obviously can't sue them for contract violation, and we're not petty enough to post their names online, but we do have a lot of contacts within the small press community, so we will be sharing their names with other editors.
Not only are we disappointed in these so-called artists, but we're disappointed in ourselves as well for not catching these obvious fakes. We have a better understanding now of what to look for, and we will be keeping a better eye on all future submissions.
For the record: NOMADIC DELIRIUM PRESS DOES NOT ACCEPT AI CRAP. THIS INCLUDES FICTION, NON-FICTION, ART, OR ANYTHING ELSE WE MIGHT PUBLISH. If you want to create that kind of crap, send it somewhere else, we don't want to see it!
We apologize to all of our readers, as well as our authors and artists for ever publishing this crap.
