Ai gen art
For sure, I couldn't find a free stock photo that matched what I wanted so I went with Bing Creator and I thought this looked nice.
You could have paid someone to make one for you or just picked a different image to use. At absolute minimum you could have cited that it's AI instead of letting people believe it's an artist's work.
It looks generic and junky, I could tell it was AI from one glance, before I even noticed all the errors.
Because now I'm also wondering what else on the site is AI and how much of your writing potentially is. And that makes me less likely to want to visit.
I run this website on my own as a side project between being a father and a full time time job. It loses money every month so I'm not paying someone to create custom art for every article. If an AI image bothers you, you can are free to downvote but fyi AI stuff is everywhere so you're going to have a hard time avoiding it.
Some people just love to hate. Appreciate your effort!
Thank you! Means a lot
Oh please shut the fuck up
right, so you're volunteering to pay for the commission then?
Yep. I got a very similar result using almost the exact title as the prompt.
