I generally have found the trend towards "let's illustrate this blog post / new story with a Midjourney image" to be a little dreary ...
So many of the images tend towards "sci-fi hyperrealism" that it gets boring after a while
(And man, I'm someone who grew up on Omni magazine covers, so normally I'd *love* this stuff, lol)
But, I will say, the Midjourney illustrations for this Boing Boing post are total <chef's kiss>
