# AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog > Source: > Published: 2026-08-04 11:30:17+00:00 I have a growing hatred for AI-generated images in blogs. It makes me wonder if the text in the blog posts is AI-generated to some extent. It’s always disappointing seeing these images in blogs run by individuals. I expect this from corporate blogs but not indie blogs. I’d rather see a shitty [Microsoft Paint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Paint) drawing as opposed to some AI image. I know there are plenty of things you can roast my blog for but at least you know for a fact you’re getting the thoughts of a real human being and not some [LLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model). If you run a personal blog, please avoid AI-generated images. Discussion over at [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42506989)
