Why the fuck did they use AI for this? Real chess boards aren't exactly hard to come by.

yeah there's a billion stock or public domain photos of chess, or if you want to be cool you could set up the pieces in a double bongcloud and take a photo yourself.
there's a billion stock or public domain photos of chess
all stock photos are AI now
Because stock images often do charge for their use in articles like this, or at the very least require proper attribution. Using an AI is the easier and lazier way to get that done.
Also wouldn't surprise me if the boss' failson who works as the manager is convinced that they need to go "all in" on AI and demands their writers all use it as much as possible.
hypothesis one: pinterest was flooded with AI art and now so is google search
hypothesis two: your boss wants you to use AI. having AI write your article and then having AI make the image makes for two uses out of the 50 in your production quotas.

Jhezes fuck, this is it, isn't it? They already paid for the subscription so if it doesn't get used it's a waste of money and won't be in the budget next year.
As always, it gets weirder, the longer you look. Is the left horse black or white? Or both? Why is it cut different then the other one? Why are the pieces behind the white ones black too?
tbh anything i search now gives me this ai bullshit and with lots of less specific searches i need to actually scroll a bit before seeing real shit that isnt ai
For Google, append -ai to your search.
good. get this woke dei bullshit out of here. the queen has all the power? chess was made by sweet baby inc to push the radical left wing soros/clinton agenda
thats why i never played it. its not because i dont get it. i get it. i just dont support dei.
there's no queen piece in chess though. it's the vizier.
and those aren't pedos, they're elephants
wait, the bishop is the elephant? i thought the castle thing was the elephant.
huh looks like both rooks and bishops are elephants in different places.
and bishops are "runners" in central europe (i think it's central europe). i dont know why.
we need chess 2 to clean up this naming issue
first we need to purge the reactionary elements from the lineup
But I did not speak, for I was not a gamer.
Chess is bourgeoise anyways, backgammon is the true game of the people.
Backgammon was also banned by the Catholic church so that’s funny, it’s already lived through one religious crusade.
