This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with a professor. I had some success culling his fear of AI-generated images by reminding him that while these programs can dress the Pope in oversized high-fashion jackets, they can't make him (or the jackets) look convincingly unclean.
Perhaps that hurdle will come to be known as AI imagery's defining charm—that it can put people on Jupiter, but can't put egg yolk on their shirts. That said, AI scores low in the area of lived experience, and that'll keep anyone out of today's art press.
Oh? Are there no soiled shirts in its training dataset? ("that it can put people on Jupiter, but can't put egg yolk on their shirts" Well put!)
I often envisage the sort of entity capable of producing something as ghoulish and inadvertently repulsive as AI-generated art, and I'm put in mind of a being that so little understands humanity it would think it appropriate to lift a newborn by their nostril.

Cool read as always, Angela! Thanks for sharing.
