Thanks for the feedback! I disagree, personally, and quite enjoy them, hence why I've included them.
I love them, myself and - this part is really going to bother you - I'm working on an open source project to help me generate them with even greater efficiency: github.com/zackproser/panthalia
But yeah: my content is definitely not for everyone!
I can assure you this post was not. I even remember why I wrote it!
If you take a look at some of my previous posts you'll see I've experimented thoroughly with integrating GenAI services into my workflow, but I don't like using generated text. I'd rather write the article myself.
I find myself more likely to take some generated code as a starting point or talk through a thorny technical issue with GPT4 until the path forward is clear in my mind.
I believe you that this article wasn't written by generative AI. I'm not really accusing you of either. I'm just saying that the conditional probability that an article is AI written given that the images are AI generative is much higher than if it doesn't have those (mostly since on average such authors have likely played with both if they've played with one of them).
