in 2013 we had generic unsplash bokeh-rich images for blog posts. Now, we have generic AI generated images. There's not that much different. I agree - in both cases they're fairly distracting.

The common wisdom among a number of publications I've written for is that you need some sort of graphic, even if generic, mostly for reasons of social media sharing (and, these days, because a lot of blog templates assume a post has an image).

Those publications usually had a contract with some provider of public domain or CC-licensed fairly generic graphics.
