i dislike AI-generated images as much as the next guy does.

but saying that "everyone hates AI images" is an exaggeration and outright false. we are a minority.

i will bring up tiktok, the "normie app". on there, an AI-generated series of videos (with a general quality as bad as you might imagine) gained lots of traction and, for one week, it became the fastest growing account. [0]

and "normies" liked it. i can tell you there was plenty of people genuinely watching that shitshow.
