does the art (be it ai or made by human) adds to the content or is it superfluous? If true, then why even bother with ai slop as a cover image?
It’s mainly for Open Graph (the thumbnail you see when you share the website on social media), and it’s good for SEO or engagement in general.
There are plenty of already existing images for this they could reuse. For example:
a banner for the website as a whole is the obvious choice imo
I saw one on another article here that was just a stock image of some penguins, I rather liked that.
The art of clipart composition seems to be a lost art :(
You've set up a bit of a word-trap because that 'true' can cover for either of your cases. I can't know what you mean.
If it adds nothing, why does it matter? If it adds something, why do you care?
What are you actually upset about?
I am upset that ai imagery was used. That it was used for something utterly pointless like a cover image makes this even more egregious.
It also just flies in the face of open-source, to use what was likely a closed-source image genAI to produce the image.
