Sorry, I wrote my own reply (saying roughly the same thing) without having seen this. I’ve upvoted and strong agree voted, but the agreement score was in the negative before I did that. If the disagree vote came from curvise, then I’m curious as to why.[1]
It seems to me that moonlight’s comment gets to a key point here: you’re not being asked to trust the AI; you’re being asked to trust the author’s judgment. The author’s judgment might be poor, and the image might be misleading! But that applies just as well to the author’s verbal descriptions. If you trust the author enough that you would take his verbal description of the vibe seriously, why doesn’t his endorsement of the image as vibe-accurate also carry some weight?
Yes I did cast a disagree vote,: I don’t agree that “The fact that the author decided to include it in the blog post is telling enough that the image is representative of the real vibes” is true, when it comes to an AI generated image. My reasoning for that position is elaborated in a different reply in this thread.

No passive aggression intended here; I respect the use of a disagree vote instead of a karma downvote.
