I know that there has been some speculation for a while on if Alex Aster has used AI for Lightlark and as far as the books/ covers and I'm convinced that it is not the case ( both Krimsonrouge & Crowcaller and have good explanations on why not) .....
... HOWEVER I'm pretty sure that AI art was in fact used for some of the Merch in her newly launched Asterverse store. The moon outline and odd stars/constellations look pretty off an not natural on how these would actually be drawn. There is also real art in the store by Kalisami who is the official artist for the series but these stamps and ticket designs are defiantly not her style. It kinda makes it worse IMO that both are being sold side by side 🤮. Those sweaters are $45 and its also on a $28 tote bag. There probably are more but these are a couple of examples
