This looks like the generic "people" artwork you see in so many places.

I think that's exactly the point.
Indeed. Clipart is low culture.
Low culture is necessary and perfectly fine. Still, a lot of work went into releasing these free generic illustrations. Also, the more free clip art is available and used everywhere the quicker it will go out of style.
I think the ambiguity is what makes clip-art attractive, you can recognize people you know in them, while with the other extreme, actual photos, it would look like a stranger
That is exactly what it is
I think that's the goal
