"How Much Should You Study Chess to Get Better?" article (plus bogus AI imagery)

FM MattyDPerrine recently posted what I consider one of the better general chess study/training blog articles, "How Much Should You Study Chess to Get Better" - link to the Chess.com version. It's short enough that I won't summarize it here, but it hits familiar themes (analyzing your own games, feedback and specific training loops, and what is chess study vs. entertainment) in a practical and realistic way.

Unfortunately there's some bogus AI imagery included (reproduced below from the article as of this posting). I don't know why cutesy AI-generated pics that depict impossible/flawed chess setups are so common, other than a failure of quality control.

I don't think she'll get very far in her studies using a board with only 7 files.
