I realize dang has already tagged this (and I get it) but I don’t know who is actually benefiting from this. This is deceptive as it doesn’t represent a traveler’s actual/expected experience and just adds more slop to the pile. This is a case where you should pay actual photographers to take verified pictures of the places you are recommending people visit. Why would someone cheapen their brand like this?

If you read the article you'll see it's not about generating AI slop images: > Take a freeform query (like ‘sfo->jfk’) and turn it into a ‘place’ > Build a database of ‘places’ -> pictures > Build a software system that can take a ‘place’, look it up in a database and spit out the right picture – even if that ‘place’ isn’t in the database
