Brah, think of it as millions of data-drenched pages, packed with high-voltage scholarly juice, swirl through the wires like ghost smoke, and then vanishing into the hidden vaults of a shadow library buried deep in the darkweb. A digital rebel bunker, ducking the sweaty claws of greedy suits who’d sell knowledge by the ounce if they could!

OR just some random AI image the author of the piece picked? I don't know.

It’s obviously AI generated, but it’s not a library. It’s a coliseum. Very strange choice.

Probably a representation of the legend of the burning of the Library of Alexandria, when many ancient works were presumed lost forever.

It is a panopticon

Agreed. Honestly, it didn't even really need a pic.

And the article is full of AI slop too

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I thought the article was pretty decent. I wouldn't call it "slop." I didn't write it so I don't have any feedback on if it's ai or not.

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The actual article is real but the art and abstract are ai. I don’t get this site’s strategy

But to be fair, I don't really pay attention to the art or the abstract. It's the article that I read. So all good.
