AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog

A blogger expressed growing frustration with AI-generated images on personal blogs, stating they prefer hand-drawn Microsoft Paint drawings over AI images and worry that the presence of such images suggests the text may also be AI-generated. The post, which sparked discussion on Hacker News, urges individual bloggers to avoid AI-generated images to maintain authenticity.

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
