Why do blog post authors decide to use AI art with nonsense text in it? It's a dead giveaway and looks sloppy, IMO. Unless the new normal is that images with gibberish text are fine now.
I immediately stop reading whatever I'm reading when I see this. I'm left to assume that the post I'm reading was also heavily AI-assisted and isn't a true representation of the author's writing ability or their actual thoughts.
I'd much rather see a post full of grammatical errors and stock art from an author with a story to tell that actually put the work in than a grammatically/syntactically milquetoast piece in the style of a million other milquetoast pieces.
TL;DR: "If they can't be bothered to actually write this, then I can't be bothered to read it," is what I think when I see AI slop art.
