I know what you mean! I'm concerned about the ethics of them as well. It's a constantly evolving thing at this point I feel. I am most interested to hear about the Canva workflows since I use it so often.

a graphic with a bright blue border lined on the left side with cartoon headshots of various animals. In a white box are the words "A spooky voice. A pirate parrot. And a flying octopus?" From an image of the book cover of Octo, P.I. and the Mysterious Voice are arrows pointing to words that say "science in disguise," "clever contraptions," and "octopus detective." In dark blue are the words "Octo P.I. and her team are back to solve the mosts mysterious case yet!" The website sarahmcdavis.com/octopibook2 is at the bottom in dark purple.
