I dislike the style this particular author chose, but don't object in general. Assuming the images are actually somewhat relevant (or at least funny), I think I'd prefer an AI-generated image over a big wall of text.

To each their own, though, of course.



The text is the only reason to visit the blog, so why waste bandwidth with images of four-handed people?

At least they could try and generate something where I can't see malformed bodies within seconds. Or create a nice diagram that actually adds something to the text.

In the end it's just 2x 40kb


So that makes a signal to noise ratio of 1:5 given the text including code is just 14kB.


For me the top 3 files downloaded by size are all js files that are about 450kb in total.

Also like 7 font files for ~100kb


What value does AI slop add though?


What value does a random stock image add?


Very little, but it might at least have the right amount of hands and a sensible aspect ratio
