It's less bad faith, more a meme that has become so prevalent that it's impossible to dispell as it's something too nuanced for social media. I've seen more than a few social media posts asking "do they really cut down a rainforest every time someone generates an AI image?"
I mean we can go back and forth all day with credulous clowns on both sides. There are certainly plenty of misguided AI advocates who think what they're using is magic.
