Counterpoint: I think they usually look dumb, but seeing them does not prejudice me for or against the text of your article. To clarify, I do sometimes get mad

Counterpoint: I think they usually look dumb, but seeing them does not prejudice me for or against the text of your article.
To clarify, I do sometimes get mad at actual photos that are poorly chosen, and the same is true of AI-generated photos demonstrating bad art direction, bad taste, or bad judgment on the part of the author or editor. But them being obviously AI-generated has nothing to do with it.
> I know there’s plenty of things you can roast my blog for but at least you know for a fact you’re getting the thoughts of a real human being and not some LLM.
In fact, I cannot know that.
- __loam 2y agoUsing AI generated work in creative spaces like writing or art is a negative quality signal to me.
- Xymist 2y agoWhy? I'd venture that a plurality, if not a majority, of people who can write well cannot create good digital art, and vice-versa. The use of AI images on a blog post, assuming you're there for the written content, seems at best a very weak signal of any kind.
- john_the_writer 2y agoNah.. it means you're cool steeling others creativity. It's a strong signal that your writing from the POV of a person who doesn't object to stomping on the shoulder of giants.
- xigoi 2y agoIf you don’t have an image that adds useful information to your document, don’t add an image at all. People on slow or metered connections will thank you.
- coffeebeqn 2y agoIt does prejudice me - like bad copy. Makes me think the whole thing is probably AI generated slop/SEO spam just created for engagement or ad bucks
- nelsonfigueroa 2y agoFair point. You can't know for sure that I don't use LLMs for my blog. I think it would be obvious it's a real human being if you read a few blog posts.
