Not really the point BUT... I really wish people would refrain from using AI illustrations on blog posts. There are actual pictures of Church in the public domain, this illustration doesn't particularly look like him and is already appearing in image search results for the man thanks to the blog post's popularity. If the illustration has so little value that you can't be bothered to spend more than 5 minutes generating it then perhaps just leave it out?

[edit] ... and if you really must use "AI" generated imagery then at least caption it as such.
