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.

If, in addition, KDE community has some special extra access to
royalty-free materials on paid servicse, I'd be interested as well.

Best regards
Jarek

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=

2. The generation of AI-slop is a serious environmental concern and collide=

3. The companies behind the generators are unscrupulous and are screwing <b=

We woulds strongly recommend you consider switching out these images for re=
