I have a hard time reading any article with AI generated images these days. Especially of robots. Please no.

images on articles were used to call out an important piece or to fill space in printed pages and make the paginator (webmaster equivalent of layout machine operator pre-desktop publishing days) life easier to fill pages with text columns.

using images on the header of online articles is literary a cargo cult people do just because they saw it on magazines growing up.

don't even get me started on the use of "eyes" (the larger text repeating a part of the article out of place) on digital media...
