Author here. Those complaining about the AI images probably also complained about Ansi art back in the day. Each image is themed to the content of the article if you paid attention. But doesn't bother me if you don't want to read. Doing this for me, and those who enjoy it. No more no less.

I'm sorry, what? Who was complaining about generated slop ANSI art back in that time? Did I manage to live and participate through a period of time and miss some massive controversy? Educate me, please. I understand you being upset by comments re: your site's AI slop and you do you with respect to that but haxorjim, please, cite your sources here.
