On: I Am Tired of AI

This is mixing up two meanings of "art". Mona Lisa doesn't need to be 10000x cheaper.

Random illustration on a random blog post sure could.

Art as an evocative expression of the artist shouldn't be cheapened. But those freelancers churning content on Fiverr aren't pouring their soul into it.

I absolutely hate AI illustrations on the top of blog posts. I'd rather see nothing.

True, but you need to play the game of including the slop to create the share cards for social media link previews.

A strange game - the only winning move is not to play.

Of blogger feels a strong need to add slop anywhere on their article, then their blog isn't worth my time.

Yeah the low effort / gratuitous ones (either AI or stock) are jarring.

I sometimes put up the hero image on my blog posts if I feel it makes sense, for example: https://blog.senko.net/learn-ai (stock photo, ai-generated or none if I don't have an idea for a visualization that adds to the content)
