I actually completely agree with you on this. I work as a Solutions Architect, one of the salesy kind. The presentations I care about, that I put time into, I will use high quality stock images. One of my recently presentations about GenAI didn't use a single Gen AI image.

But, from experience, on the more businessy side. People do like them. They flash on the screen for like 20seconds, they look pretty high quality, and are usually adapted to whatever business we're trying to smooch up to.

But they all have this horrible, gaudy, high contrasty and glossy look to them that I think is tacky.
