AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog

Earlier this year I was visiting friends and one of them was watching some terrible YouTube videos full of ancient alien type nonsense and full of AI stock footage. Half of it didn&#x27;t make any sense, and it was just a bizarre experience - mixed up nonsense blather illustration with nonsense imagery.<p>The friend who was watching this stuff is not the brightest, and he&#x27;s extremely gullible. I&#x27;d rather he just watch spiderman or something, he&#x27;d probably be better informed about the world.

Counterpoint: I think they usually look dumb, but seeing them does not prejudice me for or against the text of your article.<p>To clarify, I do sometimes get mad at actual photos that are poorly chosen, and the same is true of AI-generated photos demonstrating bad art direction, bad taste, or bad judgment on the part of the author or editor. But them being obviously AI-generated has nothing to do with it.<p>&gt; I know there’s 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.<p>In fact, I cannot know that.

I stopped using AI-images as social media thumbnails since a) they take a surprising amount of effort in order to make distinct and non-generic with techniques such as ControlNet [e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;minimaxir.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;03&#x2F;new-chatgpt-overlord&#x2F;featured.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;minimaxir.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;03&#x2F;new-chatgpt-overlord&#x2F;featured....</a>] and b) thumbnails don&#x27;t matter anymore for personal blogs since social media sharing of links is dead.

My problem with the AI-generated images that most people use for their blogs isn&#x27;t that they&#x27;re AI-generated, it&#x27;s that they&#x27;re bad. People use, I think, mostly DALLE-3 to make these super-busy infographic type illustrations that are completely devoid of meaning because they&#x27;re AI, full of mangled text and nonsense logos. They&#x27;re incomprehensible, they maybe kind of convey the idea of &quot;business&quot; or &quot;tech&quot; or something like that but they make no real point.<p>If you&#x27;re going to use AI to make a blog image, use it to make something identifiable. If your blog post is about tigers, and you use a picture of a tiger, it doesn&#x27;t make much of a difference if the picture is AI generated or a stock photo. You didn&#x27;t take it either way. If the blog post is about your prediction on the next year of tech stocks, use the AI to make a picture of something simple like a computer rather than some kind of Bayeux Tapestry of random tech-like things.

I think there&#x27;s a vibe shift. I was obsessed with Dall-E when it first came out. Now I think these images look tacky.

Another thing that makes me close the page as soon as I can press CTRl-W is anime avatars, and if the blog is built like a back and forth discussion between two cartoon characters.

I agree - at least I take it as a red flag that the blogs content is probably also low effort slob and that I should assign it a rather low credibility

My take is that unless they’re hand drawn images drawn with home made pencils and paper it’s not even really art.

Most AI-generated images I&#x27;ve come across (I have in mind Substacks, Medium posts and other personal blogs) are purely &quot;decorative&quot; &amp; having the same (lack of) purpose as stock photography - e.g. a generic photo of people exercising in an article about fitness. In informational articles I find these pointless &amp; also maybe somewhat in poor taste. But then I&#x27;d probably feel the same way about regular stock photography.<p>There may be potential for AI-generated explanatory visuals though. High-quality diagrams, graphs, map of complex conceptual relationships and so on would be exciting.

I&#x27;ve come to feel the same. It feels very low-effort to use AI-generated content when communicating with an audience.

I don&#x27;t think using AI-generated images is bad. I also don&#x27;t think using an LLM to help write an article is necessarily bad, either. They&#x27;re both just tools.<p>You&#x27;re equating using these tools with low-effort. And that&#x27;s often true. But not always.<p>In our own blog&#x2F;newsletter (about data and AI engineering), we spend a ton of effort doing a lot of the development work and the research work that goes into posts. Often the post is summarizing an open-source project we&#x27;ve released, sometimes it&#x27;s summarizing research we&#x27;ve done, etc.<p>But we&#x27;re not skilled artists. Nor are we skilled copywriters. And many of us don&#x27;t speak English as a first language, either. So we use AI to generate images, and we use LLMs to help sharpen the writing on the blog post.<p>I don&#x27;t think that makes our work low effort.

To me as the viewer, AI images sometimes pass for real ones, because at a glance they successfully convey a concept. A slight sense of something being off prompts looking a bit deeper and it quickly turns into something akin to a &quot;Spot the difference&quot; game. Spotting one error leads to a chain reaction of finding more errors. Whatever art &#x27;is&#x27;, from a philosophical standpoint, I must assume it is more than just a medium to convey a concept. At the realization of it being generated, it sort of turns into &#x27;un-art&#x27;. Whatever concept is conveyed by an AI image also inherently conveys the concept of &quot;generated&quot;.

I wouldn’t mind the AI images if they didn’t all have that same exact same look you can spot a mile away.

Yeah they discourage me as well.<p>But what I say doesn&#x27;t matter. What this person says doesn&#x27;t matter. What A&#x2F;B tests say matters.
