AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Blog author argues AI-generated images in personal blogs erode reader trust and feel inauthentic.
A blogger expresses growing dislike for AI-generated images in personal blogs, saying they raise suspicion that the text is also AI-generated. The author states they would prefer a crude Microsoft Paint drawing over an AI image, as it signals real human effort. The post distinguishes between expected AI use on corporate blogs and disappointing use on indie blogs, urging personal bloggers to avoid AI-generated images to maintain authenticity.
What commenters are saying
Commenters split into camps: those who reject AI-generated content as lazy and untrustworthy, and those who argue the tool matters less than the quality and intent. Some note AI-generated text often contains errors and feels diluted. A few suggest marking AI-generated sections clearly so readers can skip them. Others push back against public shaming as a response, advocating for ignoring disliked content instead. Several note stock photos were already disliked, and AI images can be unsettling.
