alt Hacker NewsIs no one going to mention that the first picture is AI generated tosh? I understand that generating a picture is easier than taking a nice picture, in a nice place with a a nice camera - but the back row of the board is all white and the second row.. sort of disappears!

I spent far too long trying to work out what was wrong that image, and I was going to say that I didn't like how the bezel ate into the edge squares, until I realised it was AI generated
I think they took the third photo, which is very similar but looks real, and asked an AI to touch it up in some way. Then they probably didn't look very closely at the result.
Yea i hate this trend. I can understand why one would do it for text-only blogs/articles, but for something like this? The actual product already looks really good, adjust some colors or lighting and that's perfect for a title image
And the knights are messed up
All the pictures for shop listing of PCB are also AI generated/modified.
LEDs look completely wonky, the magnet sensors are not there, hole pattern for through hole parts is inconsistent between pictures and none of them match gerber files or video. Amount of tiles on the board vary between 7 and 9. Size of MCU board relative PCB is way bigger than it should be in real life. And of course MCU board itself is also a mess.
It's already bad for the DIY project, but if you are selling something even a single crappy picture would have been better.
