I bought my copy this morning and the article for the main editorial said (i used a translator, sorry for that)
"We prepared the cover shoot for this issue using three AI tools, this text was created in cooperation with another one. What was supposed to be generation on command turned out to be a form of conversation, the course of which cannot be predicted."
And:
"AI is not very good at dealing with the nuances of a face or hand yet, it can lose a leg or double something" -
This means that the missing leg on the cover was not overlooked, they left it with full knowledge.
And this cover and editorial really remind me of Vogue Italia March 2020 with an imaginary model, same concept, I guess, same execution.
