I nearly did as well but apparently it's just an article discussing the pros and cons of AI. Seems appropriate to head such an article with an AI picture.
Yeah but the article ends up defending gen AI for game development and also confuses video game AI (a giant switch statement that drives an NPC's state machines) with gen AI. This dude just has red flags everywhere.
I think you might be better off getting rid of the "AI slop" entirely. Without getting into the whole ethical debate (it's worth having, but not here), putting it front and center on the website for a new retrocomputing magazine is kind of like putting an article about new features in Microsoft Word front and center on a website for mechanical typewriter enthusiasts.
I disagree. Making high quality niche publications like this economically feasible is exactly how AI could be used to actually benefit society. I see no evidence that this site is a plagiarism mill.
All the retro computing people I know are computer nerds, and like playing with new shiny software, including llms.
The generated images take away much more than they add for me unfortunately. Attempting to harken back to an era of retro computing while using something that screams modern corporate slop is an easy way to kill the vibe. I'd recommend against it, good luck though.
