I’ve noticed a trend of low-effort articles and blog posts (presumably also written by AI?) in my lemmy feed that I can quickly identify and ignore thanks to their using obviously AI-generated photographs.

I don’t mind AI generated photographs at all, and there are some really cool applications that people come up with, but the vast majority of generated content out there is just awful. It reminds me of people’s geocities pages, which the owners thought had amazing design, but was more often than not a terrible eye-sore. I suppose we’ll have to endure the same trend with generative AI for a while.

Edit: I don’t want to sound like I’m against people having fun playing with AI, it’s just the fake-marketing stuff that gets my goat!
