My kids are growing up in this environment and they already have an eye for ai slop. I suspect it's the same thing that led to OpenAI's TikSlop "product" is getting canned. After society had gotten over the sugar rush excitement of new and shiny toys I suspect the interest will fade and people will crave the connection you get from real art made by real people.
At least I hope that is what will happen. We might have to do something to hold the tech companies accountable for their dopamine trigger machines though.
