When will people realize that the use of AI art in any piece of content is almost as bad as bad typo or ads. It devalues the content and even adds a barrier to acceptance and produces the feeling that the creator does not value my time and attention.

That depends entirely on the design of the context around the content. There is no hard-and-fast rule that AI is bad.

    That is true, but the context around it currently, the fast rush to appropriate freely from others and of course without contributing/crediting anything back, not to mention the sludge that has exploded all over the internet is one of agreement with the OP. I'm more than sure that AI could be used in very intelligent ways by artists themselves though, and I don't mean in a lazy way to cut corners and pump out content but a more deliberate way where the effort is visible (but I don't just mean visual arts).

Depends. I like when it's used artistically and you're intended to notice. I've been listening to a lot of AI covers and some of them lean into the artifacts to a high degree in different ways, akin to noise music. First track here is a great example:
