I always discuss full transparency with you guys and I always pride myself on full transparency. As well as taking accountability and making corrections. So leading off from that.
I have removed the new Tansy of the Wilds cover. The franken-Xer'tal that I made had heavy AI from my reference images. When I made it I had searched with 'No AI' to try and remove the AI from the image searches. I thought I was safe. I was not.
I did not do my due diligence. That is on me. I was relying on things that worked prior that no longer worked and I was unaware. This is not an excuse. I should have caught that and that is on me.
I do not like generative AI and I do not use it. I actual pride myself on that. The fact I missed it in this instance, sits heavily on me. So I have removed the cover until I can get that corrected.
I want to apologize for that. I should have paid more attention and I should have caught that. That is on me.
If this has lost me some credibility with you guys, that is absolutely fair. I understand completely. I lost some credibility in myself.
Once again, I apologize for this and I'm going to do my best to rectify this issue.
