Ask HN: Do AI-generated images ruin technical posts for anyone else?

Your concern is valid, as AI-generated feature images can indeed affect the perception of technical posts. The use of AI-generated images can lead to a subconscious assumption that the text is also generated by an AI Language Model (LLM) rather than a human expert. This can undermine the credibility and authority of the writer, potentially diminishing the value of the content.

I think pretty soon in the future your LLM writing(prompting) style will be a differentiator.

I was wondering. Trouble is, you can't see a cheeky grin in someone else's writing, so the alternative is that it wasn't a joke but a bot.

I wonder what symbol or emoji could indicate "I am using genAI as a joke"?

I suggest 鐵, because it's iron-y.

Could also have 矽 to indicate that you think AI is just a "silly con".

That's an awesome suggestion. Especially the second one for the pun and easier readability.
