I think using a stock photo in this case is also bad but not as bad; because the photo itself usually looks fine. I hate AI-generated photo more simply because they're not good enough (yet) to not look fake immediately; it even has somewhat uncanny valley effect. If one day they're as good as stock photos, then my opinion with them would be on par with that, too. I care, hence the comment. Can't speak for others. > where we shouldn't be spending human resources I agree; which is why in general I don't see the need to include irrelevant pictures at all for a software release post.
