I think this is a really good point, and perhaps even worse that I hadn’t really consciously noticed the AI content, apart from the WTAF titles. (I have now finally managed to get Ickonic working on the Roku again, yay, so not watching it on youtube). I just don’t want to be looking at crappy AI generated images, at all, the idea of it is now giving me the creeps! It sometimes takes me a while to figure out what has been made with AI, and sometimes it still has to be pointed out to me, but when I do I feel somehow dirty and cheated. TBF I am a bit Old Skool, well just old, haha. I have 2 daughters who work in the graphics/illustration field, and I have done in the past and still a visual artist, so I am well aware of the dangers of the insidious infiltration of this technology. I’m thinking this may even be a great topic for an Ickonic documentary (not just visual arts but what’s happening in music is also shocking).
as i write this some bot is helpfully correcting my spelling and grammar , hahaha! Just sayin
Just want to add that I do love Ickonic too, and hoping this will be taken in the spirit of constructive criticism , from a slightly older lady in the UK xx
