Mostly unrelated, but I dislike how normalized AI art is.

I don't think it's unrelated at all. I saw the same picture and just closed the tab right away. Why should I read this article, the whole thing might be written by an LLM.

I think adding a AI image to filter out readers who think that way might have been intentional.

I certainly consider it a good idea, now that it has come to mind.

If anything, the ubiquity of style he used makes it into a deliberate meme. It's a little joke.

Could you also tag it “AI enhanced” or some such for us as well? Thanks.

nope. i don't use AI to write anything. I will just put an obviously AI image in the article to give those who make assumptions a reason to bail.

and it will work very well.

What’s wrong with using AI to write something?
