Crafting Blog covers: AI tools vs Human Illustrators. Who is the winner?

Today, we find ourselves in an incredible situation with the ability to create and generate art. We have numerous tools that not only boost the productivity of human illustrators but also enable those who couldn't previously create art to become artists.

At Evil Martians, we thrive on developing and testing new technologies. In this presentation, I'll show you how we've embraced new AI tools and adapted them to design covers for our beloved blog. As an added layer, I'll share my story from the perspective of person from 2 worlds: a human illustrator and an AI tool enthusiast. Let’s find out who comes out on top.
