Honest question. For the purpose of adding a throw-away visual to help set the tone of an article, is there really any difference between shitty AI slop vs shitty Photoshop slop? Either way it is obvious that this isn't a real studio photo, and that wouldn't be expected. I guess the better (or more traditional) article picture would be a hand illustrated piece that an in-house artist would throw together in maybe an hour or two, depending on the detail and desired quality.
