This is mixing up two meanings of "art". Mona Lisa doesn't need to be 10000x cheaper.
Random illustration on a random blog post sure could.
Art as an evocative expression of the artist shouldn't be cheapened. But those freelancers churning content on Fiverr aren't pouring their soul into it.
- jprete 2y agoI absolutely hate AI illustrations on the top of blog posts. I'd rather see nothing.
- senko 2y agoYeah the low effort / gratuitous ones (either AI or stock) are jarring. I sometimes put up the hero image on my blog posts if I feel it makes sense, for example: https://blog.senko.net/learn-ai https://blog.senko.net/learn-ai (stock photo, ai-generated or none if I don't have an idea for a visualization that adds to the content)
- BeFlatXIII 2y agoTrue, but you need to play the game of including the slop to create the share cards for social media link previews.
- Vegenoid 2y agoA strange game - the only winning move is not to play.
- GreenWatermelon 2y agoOf blogger feels a strong need to add slop anywhere on their article, then their blog isn't worth my time.
