This one is especially baffling. It would take longer to get AI to make this than it would take to do by hand, let alone digitally.
I mean, I can’t draw trees that well, so anything I made would use the same process as AI: look on the web for images of a forest, steal it, superimpose words on it. It just wouldn’t burn several kilowatts of energy if I did it.
This is not a defense of AI; I’m just saying. I can see why someone might take that route.
