I came to this comment section to say exactly that.

At my work (university research lab) the Ph.D. students have to publish their thesis as a book to defend their degree. They are free to make the image for the cover, which is a very nice touch ang give you artistic freedom in what was supposed to be one of the most important moments of your career (I went for a picture of the chip I designed during my research).

For the past 3 years or so all we have are generic AI generated sciency-looking figures at the cover and it is depressing.
