Here's a friendly reminder by @drahardja for bloggers out there who may thinking, or who may already be using, #GenAI generated pictures for their own blog posts.

Just, don't! We will not read them, in fact, we will not come back once we see a blog post with them, no matter how gorgeous your #blogging voice and style may well be.

Life is just too short for us to have to put up with your laziness for either not taking your own, or perhaps using existing public domain images (See his 2nd toot!).

@anderslund You're most welcome! I will keep an eye on the topic and if I bump into any of them going forward, I shall share them over here as a follow-up response

@anderslund I am afraid I haven't seen any. On the contrary, multiple pieces of research demonstrating the cognitive decline, inability to apply critical thinking, etc. (See https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/04/research-finds-ai-users-scarily-willing-to-surrender-their-cognition-to-llms/)

Perhaps the smart folks from @dentrochat may have seen / read and can recommend some.

"OpenAI effectively acknowledged today that it knows which features and attributes cause brain rot, addiction, and attachment — and that it knows how to turn them off"

"Brain rot is profitable because, as users are dumbed down and made lazy, they come to depend more on chatbots to function in their jobs and personal lives"

"OpenAI weighed user harm against its own profit and chose profit"🤮

Hmmm... We've been here before, haven't we?
