Once you've generated a cover you like, you'll need to get it into the epub, I would use the Polish Book tool.
@stumped - and, you'll probably want to keep the original image as it is before altering it with the Generate Cover PI, problem is where to keep it, ideally you'd want it in the book folder so that it doesn't get lost.

One way to do that is to convert it another image format that can be dropped into the book details panel. But there's a Catch-22, when a common image format file (jpeg/jpg, tiff, png, webp, bmp etc) is dropped into the Book Details panel Calibre will treat as a replacement cover. So you either need to convert to a really oddball format like JNG, or exclude a format via Preferences->Tweaks viz:
