    Unrelated but how do people feel about the ai images when used for something like this.

    The font is very telling for being DallE

      Personally I think it’s fallen out of fashion. For my blog I’d either use a meme or other dump picture for each post. When generated images first came out I used a few for blog posts, it was new and interesting and said “I’m interested in technology and like playing around with new things”.

      Nowadays I’m back on the meme pics. I feel now it’s so much easier to generate images, it more says “I want to look professional but also spend no money and have no standards”.

      People would be less mad if you straight up used a stock image with a watermark so I don’t understand why people go out of their way to use AI when they know people will comment on it and it will detract from the point of the article.

      Also, using AI in the thumbnail makes people automatically assume you’re using AI in the text as well. And if you’re not doing that, why would you lessen the perceived value of your writing by making it seem like you are?

      It just seems pointless and actively harms your actual goals because people will get hung up on the fact that you used AI and ignore your actual valid points. Especially when you’re writing about open source projects when most people interested in open source are vehemently anti-AI, it really just shows you don’t know your target audience.

      I strong hate these imagines with a piss tint. I can’t stand them. And the text has these tiny AI-flavoured imperfections too.

      I think it strongly detracts from the post. I basically skipped right to the comments without clicking the link because I’m assuming it’s AI slop, and I’m hoping the comments are interesting.
