All of us—okay, almost all of us—have dreamt of publishing our own books some day. And it has been the subject of many an idle chat over tea, coffee or something stronger, as to what one would like one’s book cover to look like. We thought we’d put our ideas to test using everybody’s current favourite tool: Artificial Intelligence. We tried out the first result we saw, Gencraft.

The website—https://gencraft.com/, has three plans. The free one gets you 10 prompts a day, and the images come with a watermark. The starter plan at R199 per week gets you 25 prompts a day with no watermarks on the images, while the pro-pack at R499 gives you unlimited prompts. Apart from the prompts, Gencraft also lets you apply filters like realistic, Polaroid, cartoon, 3-D, mystical and mythological, along with dedicated themes for food, wedding, Halloween and Valentine’s Day.
