I really dislike the cartoons, because they are carelessly generated images. On the first look they appear to be actual cartoons (you know, where details were deliberately placed to convey meaning), but the more you look the more confusing they get because it seems that most details here are accidental.
To me bad illustrations are worse than no illustrations. They also reflect poorly on the author, so I'm much less inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, and probably end up dismissing their prose.
There is a certain sense of "the leopards won't eat my face" that crosses my mind every time someone writes about skills in the age of AI but then inserts generated images.
