I think you might be really underestimating how poorly today's adults think of AI. Whenever I see a blog post that starts with an obvious AI hero image, when it has the "It's not X, it's Y" framing, when it has anything that smells like AI, I immediately discount what that person is saying as I assume they are unable to think for themselves.

yes, n=1 (ok n=2 i guess) but noticing that is an immediate back button press for me but its getting harder and harder to avoid as search results become inundated with this stuff

Far as AI gen images they still make me nauseous due to uncanny-valley stuff. Still see a lot of non-standard number of fingers; so much content elicits a weird double-take and gut dropping feel.
