Sure - there is plenty of attention grabbing AI content - it doesn't have to grab _your_ attention, and it won't work for everyone. I have seen people engaging with apps that redo a selfie to look like a famous character or put the person in a movie scene, for example.

Every piece of content in any feed (good, bad, or otherwise) benefits the aggregator (Meta, YouTube, whatever), because someone will look at it. Not everything will go viral, but it doesn't matter. Scroll whatever on Twitter, YouTube Shorts, Reddit, etc. Meta has a massive presence in social media, so content being generated is shared there.

The more content of any type leads to more engagement on the platforms where it's being shared. Every Meta feed serves the viewer an ad (for which Meta is paid) every 3 or so posts (pieces of content). It doesn't matter if the user doesn't like 1/5 posts or whatever, the number of ads still goes up.

I am talking about in general, not me personally. No popular content on any website/platform is AI generated. Maybe you have examples that lead you believe that its possible on a mass scale.

what attention grabbing movie used gen ai persons

[_proofs]

i'd say reddit is a pretty great example, twitter, even instagram or facebook comments, where bot generated traffic and comments are a norm.

you have plenty of bot or "AI/LLM" generated content, that is consumed -- up to and including things like "news".

as for the comment about movies, i'm confused -- CGI has been a thing for a long time, and "AI" has been used to convey aging or how a person might look given some conditions, on screen, as well as a whole host of things.

while this might not be an LLM, it is certainly computer generated, predictive, and artificially generated.
