It's the exact opposite. Humans will hedonically adapt to anything. If they see enough AI posters pretty soon they will start to not care, at least the majority, while some minority will disagree. We've seen this pattern many times, from data privacy and people still using social media, to using non free software.
>If they see enough AI posters pretty soon they will start to not care..
Wrong analogy. A marketing item wants you to look at it. It takes advantage of an involuntary impulse. A repetitive boring AI artwork will not trigger the impulse to look it. So it is not about "caring"....
Yes, but also.
Right now GenAI content a bad thing, cringe, a sign of low-value or lack of attention to detail. I don't want to play even a free game if I think it was made by someone else prompting an AI, and that's despite liking the output when I do the same for myself.
If AI output is normalised and becomes simply "boring" or "mundane", those negatives must have also gone away.
After that (assuming there is an "after that", I don't want to bet either way), people would, as per your argument, need to un-boring them.

I have bad news for you if you think the video game industry isn't widely embracing generative AI. Companies try not to say it because of the current backlash involved but I truly believe Tim Sweeney isn't wrong[1]. I think in 5 years it will be a quaint idea to be AI-vegan and it'll be similar to how people resisted smartphones (I was one of them) until they became inevitable.

I'm talking about AI menus and such. When I first saw them they were a novelty, and then I didn't really care about them. In other words, they were normalized, just as all AI will be. The amount of people who have strong opinions one way or another will diminish, just as it has for people who have opinions about, say, the Internet. It's so normalized that it's just background noise, and really only technologists like those on HN have issues with the Internet.
