i'll say one nice thing about ai slop: the ai generated preview images continue to be a reliable indicator that there are other major issues with the article or video they represent. if the author couldn't be bothered to try to land a solid first impression, why, you can bet they didn't care enough to try and make anything else worth your time
@aeva Yeah, the five-page article I saw the other day about "How to scroll to the end in `less`" lacked such an image to warn me. I had to rely on the heading "Why scroll to the end in `less`" to warn me.
(Context: the End key used to do this, and it was changed briefly, and I thought I was going mad. The change has been reverted.)
