Please do not add genAI images to punch up your writing. You might think that it adds a nice little bit of visual pizazz to your content-marketing piece, but what you're actually doing is *making it look like content marketing* rather than a useful resource. To the extent that content marketing is an effective tactic, it is because you build trust with the customer by providing them valuable information. A genAI turd plopped on top of your writing is a signal that it will be worthless slop.
That isn't extremely obvious though, especially with the JPEG compression. If you didn't know to look, you wouldn't have noticed it. No one scrutinizes Jeopardy text.
It's super obvious, I caught it immediately just scrolling the thread, I don't even do graphic design or anything. You can just tell if you have ever seen a single episode of Jeopardy in your life.
That's a lot of things to infer off of just scrolling past a 512×768 JPEG. If the image was in another context and the text had been different, no one would have batted an eye.
Perhaps, but the soft shadows still don't match the text. It's uncanny. An amateur designer would've gotten a better result on Photoshop in less time.
I wanna believe you, but the JPEG artifacts on an image that small make it extremely difficult to even notice the distortions you're referring to, especially at a glance. You've made it obvious you're replying in bad faith, so I'm gonna leave it here. Have a good one.
