- mcdonje 3y agoDon't kink shame.
- dale_glass 3y agoDefinitely: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/content/images/2023/02/riscvdc.jpg https://xcp-ng.org/blog/content/images/2023/02/riscvdc.jpg The broken text makes is very clear. But that's exactly the market I thought AI would eat first. The blog posts need some sort of picture to represent the general idea of a high tech server. Nobody cares which exact thing it is and if it even exists. In many respects a non-existent one may be better, it won't get obviously old. So why pay money for a stock picture where you could have a passable substitute for free?
- ghaff 3y agoThere's common wisdom that blog posts need an image, more or less any image. Larger publications probably have stock image contracts. Smaller ones use Creative Commons--maybe honoring non-commercial/non-derivative clauses or not--or just grab anything they can. Generative AI seems tailor-made for need an image, any image. I imagine I'll use it myself.
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoYeah, just like here in HN. /s I'd prefer not to be treated like an idiot but so many sites are determined to.

- g8oz 3y agoI'll never understand why comments like this are upvoted at the expense of those that actually address the topic.
- gaudat 3y agoHere, have an upvote. The cover picture is there to represent the article and to invite potential readers to dig into it. I believe it is as important as the article text. If the cover picture which is taking a significant part of your screen when the page loads look like this, I already have a bad impression on the article itself. Sorry I am not using a plain text browser.
