Yikes, it really is distracting. What really gets me is the screwed up, subtly M C Escher like perspective.
Also, yeah, this looks like a weird bank / accountant's tax office pastiche, not at all like a check cashing place.
It's patio11 though, all of whose writing on the nuts and bolts of finance are fascinating, so it's easily forgiven, heh
Edit: in fact I'm already 3 paragraphs in and so fascinated by the, typical for patio11, high level of detail combined with easy novel like readability, that I almost feel guilty for having piled on to criticize the awful AI image. But still, yeah, I agree AI images like this are actually worse than no illustration at all
- StewardMcOy 3y agoRight? That's why I was hesitant to bring this up too. But the picture really is that distracting. Like, the article's good enough that it doesn't need an image. Or if you really think you need it, grab some free stock photo or clipart or something. Or get good AI art. Don't settle for bad AI art.
- oh_sigh 3y agoYeah, at least touch up the text so it isn't just gibberish (besides for "CHECK"). But I guess this is what happens when someone with (presumably) no graphics skills gets an image out of AI - they are powerless to tweak it.
