Hi Again Jaroslav,<br>
<br>
It has been pointed out to me that many of the images on the KEXI site are AI-<br>
generated and contain AI slop (gibberish writing, weird perspective, and so <br>
on). We try to steer free of AI-generated resources for several reasons:<br>
<br>
1. They look cheap and bad<br>
2. The generation of AI-slop is a serious environmental concern and collides <br>
head on with our attempt to make computing sustainable, as embodied in our KDE <br>
Eco project<br>
3. The companies behind the generators are unscrupulous and are screwing <br>
creators out of livelihodd while using their work without credit or <br>
compensation to train AI models.<br>
<br>
We woulds strongly recommend you consider switching out these images for real <br>
ones. You will find plenty of similar images on the likes of <a href="http://pexels.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">pexels.com</a> or <br>
<a href="http://pixabay.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">pixabay.com</a>.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">Thank you Paul, that's the opinion I am sharing too, whenever I can. Please consider the current images as a good enough draft, for improvement in the near future. I'll take a look at the image services.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">If, in addition, KDE community has some special extra access to royalty-free materials on paid servicse, I'd be interested as well.</div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">Best regards</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">Jarek</div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
