Oh save it. "Cancel culture"? Really? I'm been a big of fan of Mary's work but her recent obsession with AI art is not doing her any favors. She replaced the beautiful artwork work from her previous books done by actual talented artists with ugly soulless AI Art. That's a terrible look no matter how you swing it.
And let's be absolutely clear, AI is built off stolen artwork, it's inherently unethical and her stubborn refusal to acknowledge this is part of the problem. You accuse Furlandia is slapping artists in the face, when she does absolutely does by using unethically sourced art.
