I can’t take “cleantechnica” seriously as long as they generate all their images. Hire an artist or just don’t use images. Putting slop on a environmental publication shows how little they give a shit about the environment
And once people put AI images with their article, I start to wonder how much of the article was written by a LLM. I’m too used to arguing with idiots that use GPT to generate a list of studies to support their view, only for those studies to be complete hallucinations or unrelated to the topic.
I’m completely electric, in a building with code standard insulation, and my power bill still goes up by $100 each winter, contradicting the headline’s ‘every time’ claim. That makes me feel even stronger that this article was probably completely generated, and I’m not giving it my clicks.
I don’t think these assumptions about there being a human author on the other end are unreasonable. I never thought of that.
