        It’s obviously AI generated, but it’s not a library. It’s a coliseum. Very strange choice.

          Agreed. Honestly, it didn’t even really need a pic.

        I thought the article was pretty decent. I wouldn’t call it “slop.” I didn’t write it so I don’t have any feedback on if it’s ai or not.
