Wild generalisations based on no actual evidence whatsoever. And if you don't bother looking at what I am showing you, then you have utterly no argument at all. I can assure you there are no smeary or nonsensical colours, and all is crisp and clear.

There's a major logical flaw in your argument, I'm afraid. "AI-generated imagery I have spotted looks bad and feels bad" ≠ "All AI-generated imagery looks bad and feels bad." You're only spotting the bad stuff. You've unconsciously accepted the good AI-generated images, because you can't tell it apart from human-generated images. And if you claim you can tell all AI-generated art when you see it, I have to say I don't believe you …

Perhaps we're particularly sensitive to it... Or looking out for it! If a small brewery suddenly has what appears to be full original oil paintings on its packaging, if sets off our Spidey sense. What if probably means is that, with the waters muddied, we'll be drawn to stuff that's *definitely* not AI – precise, human, organic, simple. Great news if your budget only stretches to text and doodles.

AI generated imagery generally looks like some puffy bad taste crap from a Scientology brochure. The colours are off, details are smeared in some places oddly nonsensical in others. You don’t know why it makes you cringe when you first look at it, and then you realise what’s wrong with it. Ewww.

If you get an actual artist they can spend time feeding it in rinsing it about for hours they can get something half decent, but still not as good as if it was done properly in the first place. And no, I’m not going to whatever Facebook page that is. AI “art” is just horrible. Especially if it’s the “we couldn’t afford an artist” kind.
