You realize that when people aren't told an image or text is AI generated, on average they prefer it to human created content, and it's only when they know it's AI that they rate it lower than the human content? You shouldn't be shocked by this, the last 20 years of Hollywood and pop music clearly indicates the the mass market doesn't care about craft or art, it likes to ride the vibes of what's trending.

Yeah, and you might enjoy a meal, and when someone tells you it contained 5 percent human eyeballs to give the sauce that awesome texture, and you know they're not lying, you will puke it out right on the spot.

Then you say "it's because I don't like human eyeballs in my food", and someone and replies "but the mass market clearly doesn't care. You shouldn't be shocked by this."

uhm this is so heavily dependent on the kind, type and model of AI used that I'm calling you out on making this "statistic" up on the spot.

but I'm not entirely sure what your point is

if you don't tell people which food has been hyperprocessed and laced with corn syrup or whatever you can imagine, they will also prefer that one

also 9 times out of 10, people prefer the needle with heroin in it
