Remove AI-generated artwork from the README and front page

[omentic]

Hi Stephen! First off I want to say, cool project. I have yet to read through it in its entirety but doing so is now on my docket -- I've been looking for an excuse to learn to implement a type system with some sort of constraints, and I think the "miniaturized $language" approach you're taking here is very cute.

That being said: I think you should remove the AI-generated images on the front page and the README. To me, what this says is "this tutorial was made with generative AI" -- which means I can't trust it, especially as a learning resource (c.f. a bunch of stuff, but the most straightforward one being reading over generated text misses errors you don't make when actively writing, etc). I know images are not text, but that is what is conveyed by having slop on the front page.

I did start reading regardless though and the text doesn't read like it was made with generative AI (especially since I found a typo 😛), but I was not that confident about this until finding said typo. I think you should consider removing these images. It almost bounced me off of the site as a whole, and I'm sure it has bounced off others already, and I also think it's just a bad look to have generated images used as filler instead of commissioning someone.

Anyway, those are just my thoughts. You're free to merge or ignore this as you see fit ofc. Cheers

Just another data point: I did feel the images were a distraction, but they didn't otherwise make me doubt the work. (I was already familiar with the author, so grain of salt.)
