A parallel I like to draw is Thomas Kinkade and HDR photography. This style has always been popular, even pre-AI.

Analogies are lazy rhetorical devices. Different things are, unsurprisingly, different. Saying "X is like Y" does nothing but invite the conversation to take a turn into identifying all the differences between X and Y.

Just defend the original subject on its own merits.

		This comment is like an opinion someone had and then shared digitally with the world. - I didn't mind the Thomas Kinkade reference, but you do have me thinking about to what extent analogies are lazy. Do you abstain from using them completely, or keep them rare?
