There's a quality spectrum of AI-generated header images. Some are just random DALL-E output which aren't intrinsically relevant to the article (like the one used in this article), but you can have a little fun with it and do something distinct. This may require more control than just using Bing Image Creator.

Also, a thumbnail tip: square thumbnails are bad. If you have to use a square 1024x1024 AI generation, crop it to something like 1024x575, which incidentally can make things difficult if using AI generation since figuring out what to crop requires human intervention.

There's a quality spectrum of AI-generated images, sure, but they're all equally artistically void.
Not all.
Yeah they are. Art is communication. Computers don't communicate, they generate.

I don’t know how good they are, but people have trained models on that problem. Googling “autocrop tool” gives me multiple options.

Fair point.
