I use gen-AI to produce images daily, but honestly the infographics are 99% terrible.

LinkedIn is filled with them now.

To be fair it hasn't made LinkedIn any worse than it already was.

To be fair, it is hard to make LinkedIn any worse.

Correct.

Much like the pointless ASCII diagrams in GitHub readmes (big rectangle with bullet points flows to another...), the diagrams are cognitive slurry.

See Gas Town for non-Qwen examples of how bad it can get:

(Not commenting on the other results of this model outside of diagramming.)

> cognitive slurry

Thank you for this phrase. I don't think that bad diagrams are limited to the AI in any way and this perfectly describes all "this didn't make things any clearer" cases.

Infographics and full presentations are a NanoBananaPro exclusive so far.

You should see some of the work from their PaperBanana papers. Really solid.

Informatics are as bad as the author allows though. There's few people who could make or even describe a good infographic, so that's what we see in the results too.
