I was looking at a poster session today and saw a poster with "very professional-looking" illustrations that I suspect were done by Gen AI.

There really ought to be credits/cites for illustrations in posters and papers. Preferably for humans, but even if you're using thieving AI.

That it's not traditional to provide them seems to me part of STEM's undervaluing of the work of creatives which led to the march of automated plagiarism we're now suffocating in.
