I don't separate them. To still partake in the art helps boost their popularity and their message.
I also can't claim to support a group while boosting their biggest antagonist. I also see this spreading into the AI area.
If I see authors using AI cover art, I blacklist them. AI voices for characters in games? I'll swerve. I can't claim to support a community of artists and then shoot them in the foot at first opportunity.
So you blame the author for their publisher's use of AI?
It depends. Self publishers on places like Amazon Kindle are probably making that choice themselves. They choose their own covers.
I understand a Self publisher has less financial resources but.. there's no good answer.
For large publishing firms, they have a choice. They pick books they think will do well and support it with cover art, marketing, etc.
When you have things like Fallout's TV series using AI art to market itself? That's a multi-billion dollar company. They can afford not to. I don't fault the writer for a book that a publisher forces AI onto, but as long as they stay with a publisher who openly forces them to use AI, I will hold my stance.
