i'll say one nice thing about ai slop: the ai generated preview images continue to be a reliable indicator that there are other major issues with the article or video they represent. if the author couldn't be bothered to try to land a solid first impression, why, you can bet they didn't care enough to try and make anything else worth your time

straw man: "but i can't draw and i hate artists"

look pal, you could take a sharpie and a piece of paper and draw crude stick figures with comic speech bubbles saying something witty and relevant to your blog post/video and I would be 10000x more impressed than the mockery of the human spirit you decided fit to represent your mingnum opus instead
