I am at risk of becoming Lemmy’s resident curmudgeon with my protestations against clickbait headlines, and now a distaste for lazy and unappealing generative AI images in articles, which disincentivize reading the material. Not the poster’s fault, of course.

I thought the same thing; it’s a very visible cost-cutting signal. How do we know they haven’t replaced the editor and writer with AI too?

Well put. Since we’ve co-opted this comment section with meta-commentary, I’ll also say that since LLMs came on the scene, I feel as if my sixth sense for AI text slop has become very refined; I can usually identify generative text within a few sentences, and stop reading.
