Is there an option for "Done well" and "Done poorly"?

As a case study, there is a Substack I follow with a guy who does original research. I've been following him before he started using AI images and once he started, I noticed that there was attention to detail in his images, in that they were highly relevant and unique to that article, sometimes including humor, and in general, you could tell he had actually thought about the image he posted. In his case, the AI art is mostly neutral for me. It doesn't affect my perception much one way or another.

On the done poorly end of the spectrum, when I go do a blog and every image is in the same style and is some variation of a robot or a person in front of a chalkboard (with the title or thesis on it) teaching other robots or people, I certainly think "Slop!" In that case, I more often feel that images are degrading content that might actually be decent and that no image would be better than this. I don't often come back, though.

Yeah if someone uses mid journey to do something unique, or even uses an editing model to make a specific picture for some purpose, that could be fine. On the other end of the spectrum is those yellow-tinged ChatGPT generated images that all look the same - they seem the most common and indicate someone didn’t care at all.
