had an idea for a joke image involving multiple stock images of "cloaked figure" and sure enough i went to image search that, and the results were almost entirely generated slop... never mind then! it's not like the prior era of shutterstock etc was good or anything, i just wanted to make a quick simple joke image that was 100% free of the repellent aesthetics of LLM art, and the people who run search engines have decided that will no longer be possible.
