Generating an image from an already open tab is faster than making a search engine query and selecting a good, high resolution image.

Who cares about quality. Speed is the new black.

Letting AI generate your image also dances around the issues of attribution and licensing, for better or worse.

ai generated imagery can’t be copyrighted while all other photography can and generally needs to be treated as it is. Therefore you likely have to pay a royalty to Getty or other asset outlet. Of use AI.

…who have quite conveniently already stolen and trained on all the copyrighted images. Thanks AI!

[bayindirh]

Please. It's all fair use. Otherwise AI companies can't repackage and sell what's out there for free.

and tech companies wonder why consumers hate AI

[s1artibartfast]

What seems to be the problem here? Why is it offensive that someone didnt spend more time hand selecting a picture for the article?

[bayindirh]

There's a saying in Zen which I live by. "How you do something is how you do everything".

Start to be sloppy somewhere, you'll be sloppy everywhere. As we "learn and enable" to do things faster with less effort, the quality of the thing we (as in humans collectively) do decline.

AI, when used as the sole blunt instrument, accelerates this dramatically.

Because it's not being used to deliver better products, it's being used to flood the market with even more garbage
