Because there is a stigma about use of AI in creative spaces, the people that do use it to creative very impressive pieces don't disclose that information on their profiles. People tend to see AI anywhere mentioned in the profile and automatically shit on the work regardless of its beauty or creativity. They don't consider the staggering amount of work that goes in to the pics with all the control nets, custom hyper parameter tuning, custom finetuned lora's, and many other technical like workflow chaining and such. They automatically assume someone only spent 5 seconds on some slop prompt and that's it. But I can assure you if no mention of AI is anywhere everyone who looks at the work is always impressed. So you have an observation bias situation going on. You see only AI slop because a. most of its is low effort slop and b. the good stuff you assume had no AI in it because it wasn't disclosed by the artist.
