This is not a Gen-Z thing.
You don't understand that this is something you can't stop.
you say "crappy AI", yes at that point it is mostly crappy and even unexperienced guys like you can see it. But in the near future every person can generate pictures which looks like reality. That is a fakt.
I can tell you what then happens. One person posts a longhair ai generated video on a plattform without marking as "ai generated", another person think its beautiful and posts it here and guess what?: YOU will like it because it matches your fetish exactly and you think it is real because it looks like reality, you don't know it is fake. Does that bother you? maybe because we can never be sure to see something thats real or not
This is the future deal with it. Things are changing.
