For what it's worth, I probably wouldn't have commented without the AI image. I just tend to assume that articles with AI graphics also have AI text. That assumption is almost never wrong.

This is a good point. The banner image is something I've been doing on all my articles, and it's creating the wrong perception. I'm probably going to stop adding these. All my other content is software engineering related, and I've started adding more visual content like diagrams, screenshots, and YouTube videos. So I probably don't need to lean on the banner images anymore, and it seems like they're doing more harm than good!

Edit: I actually went ahead and removed the banner image from this post. Thank you for pointing out this signal!

Yeah agreed - Just as a future context I tend to close out of articles quickly if they have an AI generated image. Highly reccomend something like Unsplash or Comsos.so - They both have some brilliant visuals, especially public.work - cosmos.so/public-work

Even old archives are great to search for visuals and shows the passion that you've put in to the writing.

This is really helpful, thank you! This post was one of my first with relevant, 'real' images, and I really like how it came out relative to the generated stuff. Besides, I feel like image generation has lost its way since DALL-E got deprecated. I've bookmarked these resources!
