Poll: What do you think about AI-generated filler images?

The prolific use of AI generated imagery that seem vaguely related to the topic of blog posts and articles on the web has been bothering me for a while, and I'm wondering if I'm the weird one here. More often than not, the pictures makes me do a quadruple take because they are just good enough to pass for a well-crafted illustration or photograph at first glance, but _something_ about them makes my brain go "wait no something's off here". Upon closer inspection they often make me uncomfortable, and IMO don't provide any value.
