"Hey, we need a large photo to encapsulate an article about how AI leads to cultural stagnation and death of creativity. Oh I know, how about a photo of some random Asian chick waiting in some sterile-looking elevator to invoke the Orient's proclivity towards rote memorization and inability to imagine life that is worth living?"
well they were talking about elevator music, and most people in the world are literally from Asia; is it really wrong to use that image?
They could just use the AI slop collage found in the article that's a lot more eye-catching and actually relevant to the article instead of some generic photo of some random Asian chick in a sterile elevator. It's like how every single article about Covid has to have a photo of some Asian person in a mask even when the article has nothing to do with Asia.
