DragonCon just banned a book Cover from the awards ballot. One that had qualified to be on it. They did so because 'someone' complained. The complained that the artist (A friend and one of MY Cover Artists) uses AI as part of their process (they use it as a tool, they're an artist who works in various media). Note: It was not in the rules that you couldn't nominate covers that the artist used AI tools to create.
Also Note: They didn't ban any of the OTHER covers where the artists used AI Tools.
I'd say it's apparent that DragonCon has issues with either the artist (again a FRIEND of mine) or the Publisher (Again MORE friends of mine - I know these people!)
So by all means, click the link below and see the book that the people of DragonCon thought was so dangerous that they had to remove it from the ballots before you could vote for it, as they must have known it would win! Also you may want to check out some of the stories, I know many of the authors in this anthology and they're all quite good.
