Well this shouldn't be surprising. This is a big issue with AI since it doesn't actually come up with any new thoughts or reasoning - but essentially "remixes" its pool of data - you have a system where everything becomes "oversaturated" over time, kinda like compressing a jpeg over and over and over.

It seems to me AI generated images are accelerating the "manufacture of glamour", as pointed by John Berger.

We are already surrounded by images on a daily basis, and AI is accelerating the production of these "alternate ways of life".
