It's totally fine if you want to use the planet-killing machines that have been trained on the often-unauthorised scraping of thousands of copyrighted artworks. You might have major budget constraints and I understand and respect that, but just know that it might be a false economy in the long run: good luck getting the AI to populate your printer's template for example. And you may not know that research has shown that the carbon footprint of just one single Large Language Model is approx. 300,000kg of CO2 emissions (Dhar 2020)*. That's equal to 125 round trip flights between New York and Beijing.
Chips & Grady doesn't use AI in any designs - what you are paying for is 10+ years of specialist experience and skills learned over many years, someone who will talk to you to understand your brief and will respond quickly when changes are needed near deadline.
Or you can have an unreadable book title and a weird creepy doll person in your design that, for example, makes Charles Dickens look a bit like a Hollywood action star with 6 fingers.
