Literally anything you can randomly pick copyright free on unsplash is immediately better:

The problem is that these are not better than ai slop because you seem to like AI slop, so I doubt you'll find anything better than:
Come on man.. the job is to find one that looks good in EVERY SINGLE PROFILE. Don't offload a page with tons of options that don't even make any sense to us. You are the one asking for it. This doesn't require any technical skill. You can find one that works.
Also, you don't want AI slop, but you are perfectly fine with ultra-generic, corporate-looking, boring STOCK photos that have no soul whatsoever? That is indeed worse. The current image is fun, unique, and connects the topics of "Social", Bitcoin, and touching grass at the same time, while using our mascot Amy (a baby ostrich) as a base. It was created to celebrate Ametyst's first year, and that is why it is a "birthday" scene.
Find something that has a story... that connects to us as a community. Not some boring stock image that could be used in any app.
I'm glad you said this, making it clear you do prefer the AI slop over basically anything and that finding anything "better" will be impossible
why should amethyst celebrate its birthday on users cover images?
why should amethyst be about bitcoin?
questions that will not have good answers, but I still like amethyst
Simply because we haven't found anything better to put there. This was the most interesting image we got that more or less aligns with the community we built.
Again, no one has ever sent me an actual proposal to change, and you two are the only ones even talking about it in over 2 years. I accept the help. Just find something interesting that connects with what Amethyst is.
ok I truly appreciate you taking your time to answer this and understand your position
I don't mind using AI if it is better.
If you can't create/find something better than an AI slop, then that says more about you than me.
I think it sounds very much like you like the current default banner and see no problem with it anyway. So not sure you'd take any suggestions seriously anyway by the sounds of it lol.

Happy to take a look. I am not sure if I saw what Purple Painter made.
I do not guarantee that mine would be “better” but it would be hand-drawn. And it could simply be what it already is.
It would be immediately better and fit the 'story' and 'community' aspect that Vitor mentioned.
I still think Vitor will prefer the ai slop tho. There's no accounting for taste.
Hopefully I'm wrong tho lol.
