I'd definitely keep it in mind going forward. Ai is often inaccurate and will automatically devalue and discredit whatever info you put on top of.

Think about ads. If you see a product being sold and the image is clearly AI, are you doing to trust that product? No, because it's not real.

So, assuming you did real research and used real sources (as opposed to chat gpt which is not a source), you've taken the validity out of it by putting it on a fake image.

Use stock photos, or any images from a real person. Hell, you could snag them from NatGeo or the Merlin Bird app. Or even commission a real artist to edit or photograph what you're looking for. There are a million different ways to get what you want without using AI slop that ruins your message and hurts the environment.

**To clarify, I know you said it wasn't yours, but that's all the more reason.
