Tangential: the lead picture in the article linked in this comment immediately came across as AI generated, whereas the one in OP's article did not: I had to go back and look at it again to realise that it too is AI generated. It is quite complex, similar to the human drawn abstract art one might find in an Atlantic or Wired or New Yorker article, the garbled text nearly the only thing giving it away. The article in the comment is from August 2023, so the difference in quality represents only a few months of progress (DALL-E 3?).

Or maybe they're from the same source, and the author just chose different aesthetics for the different articles. Quite nice, in any case.
