The cover picture makes me cringe... It is an AI generated picture of a naked server?

Don't kink shame.

Definitely:

The broken text makes is very clear.
But that's exactly the market I thought AI would eat first. The blog posts need some sort of picture to represent the general idea of a high tech server. Nobody cares which exact thing it is and if it even exists. In many respects a non-existent one may be better, it won't get obviously old.
So why pay money for a stock picture where you could have a passable substitute for free?
There's common wisdom that blog posts need an image, more or less any image. Larger publications probably have stock image contracts. Smaller ones use Creative Commons--maybe honoring non-commercial/non-derivative clauses or not--or just grab anything they can. Generative AI seems tailor-made for need an image, any image. I imagine I'll use it myself.
Yeah, just like here in HN. /s
I'd prefer not to be treated like an idiot but so many sites are determined to.

the banner one is worse, just look at those sockets or nailbed radiators
I'll never understand why comments like this are upvoted at the expense of those that actually address the topic.
Here, have an upvote. The cover picture is there to represent the article and to invite potential readers to dig into it. I believe it is as important as the article text. If the cover picture which is taking a significant part of your screen when the page loads look like this, I already have a bad impression on the article itself.
