> AI generated images in a news article or long form essay are incredibly distracting

I think most people will or can get used to them pretty fast. And if you've seen the images that Midjourney v6 can produce, some of these are already beyond the uncanny valley.

As opposed to real pictures that have nothing to do with the article like we have now? Right now the pictures in the vast majority of news articles, including most in print, are actively misleading. One hopes, with AI pictures they'll go through the trouble of using a prompt related to the article ...

I see a lot of posts saying they dislike this, but I quite like them.

Maybe it's just the novelty, but I enjoy the relevant but slightly odd pictures along with the text.
