It’s so weird to use an AI generated image for this article when there are so many images of Atlas out there.

Generating an image from an already open tab is faster than making a search engine query and selecting a good, high resolution image. Who cares about quality. Speed is the new black.

and tech companies wonder why consumers hate AI

Letting AI generate your image also dances around the issues of attribution and licensing, for better or worse.

This is a bit disappointing, isn't it? Boston Dynamics had the coolest robots and everybody was marveling how they would take over the world eventually. Turns out the market isn't gigantic and the use cases are limited, at least for now.

However, let's hope they will keep on doing cool stuff under their new owner.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

...which AFAIK isn't transferable. IOW, used Hyundais are cheap for a reason.

Are you sure? The warranty is on the car, not the owner. Almost all manufacturers (except Tesla) transfer automatically and are based on mileage.

Who told you that? Unless you buy your Hyundai new, or CPO from a dealership, the powertrain warranty is 5/50.

ai generated imagery can’t be copyrighted while all other photography can and generally needs to be treated as it is. Therefore you likely have to pay a royalty to Getty or other asset outlet. Of use AI.
