It was a disappointingly short leap from authors doing cover-art reveals without crediting the artist responsible for clothing their work… to just using gen-AI to produce cover-art.
It’s disheartening when non-creatives do this shit, but when creatives do this to other creatives:

I'm so excited for this, it sounds like the best adaptation.
Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material.
