It is also happening with trees! Look.

I'm trying to make a serious point.... Probably the article has some validity, but the image blocks inside the article add a lot of weight to the argument. And generating blocks of similar-looking images is pretty easy with search-by-image. This instantly creates a "world is all the same" effect.

For example, look at the block of apartment building images. Every single photo has a white sky (have skies really become more uniform lately?) and the pavement looks like it just rained in six (has more of the world really entered a just-stopped-raining phase?). This kinda looks like an assembly of photographs produced with search-by-image.

Sooo... that seems a little unfortunate to me.
