I am strongly against the use of AI in creation of any kind of mock art. But, what I want to know is if Furlandia already knew that she was using AI for her covers. In the case that they knew, defrocking her was a poor decision and her response would be more validated. And then on the other hand, she should've seen this coming knowing the popular stance on AI art and will be laughed at for a poor attempt at justifying it.
