Recently I was reading the news and saw an article from USA Today with an AI-generated cover graphic of Donald Trump.
And with both this and 19 Terrifying Men, I'm at a loss why anyone would do that. Surely people have already made thumbnails from 12 Angry Men, why did we need to change to a worse one?
Similarly, there must be tens of millions of photos of Donald Trump, from every stage of his life, available to license. Surely USA Today has a subscription to an archive where they can pull a stock image of Trump for no marginal cost.
What is the thought process here? Do they have a new hammer and see everything as a nail? Or is there a reason this makes sense that I'm not seeing?
