       | I suppose the image is genai, but they don't credit it as such,
       | despite crediting the images on all the other articles below it
       | as genai. However, they don't provide any image credit on the
       | linked article, so presumably they just forgot to add it.
       | 
       | It's sickening that a science website uses genai specifically for
       | images of things that are ostensibly real in the context of news
       | about that thing. E.g. this stinkbug, and some kind of fruiting
       | plant in a lower-down article. As opposed to only using it for
       | clearly artificial renderings.

         | Yeah it looks very AI, which is disappointing because I wanted
         | to know what they really liked like. The picture looks like a
         | more vibrant and reddish version of the kind we have in the
         | Midwestern United States

         | The article feels like LLM output, too. (And they don't
         | actually credit an author in the byline.) Is there another
         | source out there that this was based on? Can we read that
         | instead, and skip the extra layer of interpretation/distortion?

           | DOI: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp6699 --
           | unfortunately not open access, so it's not feasible for me to
           | check if anything in the HN link is actually true, or just
           | LLM guesses.

           | 
           | 1. Consistently "underused" at every job and "stifled" by
           | management that doesn't understand that talent comes with
           | diva attitude.
           | 
           | And
           | 
           | 2. Unemployed but calling it self employed.
