Maybe don’t include a picture at all if the text doesn’t require one?
I’m also annoyed by badly fitting stock images. And most news websites are full of these two categories.
Old man blogs at cloud.
They should switch to blurry homemade images taken on their own phone.
I once clicked on some blogspam that after I clicked on it made MalwareBytes say it was consistently blocking communications to some site from Firefox until I ran TronScript (it was probably a cookie.)
AI images make me think that’s going to happen to me again.
I have a growing hatred for AI-generated images in blogs. It makes me wonder if the text in the blog posts is AI-generated to some extent. It’s always disappointing seeing these images in blogs run by individuals. I expect this from corporate blogs but not indie blogs.
I’d rather see a shitty Microsoft Paint drawing as opposed to some AI image.
I know there’s plenty of things you can roast my blog for but at least you know for a fact you’re getting the thoughts of a real human being and not some LLM.
If you run a personal blog, please avoid AI-generated images.
Big words from a guy that writes literally 2 paragraphs and calls it a blog. That’s all the text there is. Who judges a blog according to a picture?
I would, I also dislike generated images.
There’s plenty of useful posts this guy has. I don’t think this topic needs any more than he said.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, unless it’s AI generated.
Ngl, if the cover of a book read “made in part by plagiarism machines”, I’m grabbing a different book.
Absolutely. The images should be in some way convey reliable information about the article. Reliability goes out the window with generated slop.
