Right? The rash of AI images used in journalism is genuinely troubling. It seems like at least 50% of news article thumbnails I see are AI these days.

It’s the most sophisticated thing about the whole article, unfortunately.

Damn I didn’t even notice. Guess I don’t really look at the pictures.

This one is terrible because it’s like a montage of a penguin colony over a generic historic painting of a port city. Very little creativity and quality control. I’d just combine an actual photo of the Kiel port and penguins jumping out of water.

What you actually want is a nice picture of either a market place or seafront promenade and a fat and content (as usual) Tux munching a Fischbrötchen

Cool but that would require some cultural awareness, and the reporters cannot be bothered.

You mean collage? I agree. I think your suggestion would work best if it was also made to look like an obvious collage. If it was accurately photoshopped to look like the penguins were actually there it would look silly.
