I really appreciate you framing most AI art as kitsch--that’s an illuminating way to think of it. I went on a deep dive of the AI art subreddits after DALLE 3 came out and the number of people saying computers are more creative than humans now while presenting the most absolutely cringey cliche images made me really bummed out.
You know I will give these people the bare minimum credit: Spiral Town is better than Beeple Everydays or Pudgy Penguin #1738, the art they were appreciating this time two years ago.
Best version of this type of image gen that I've seen is this one that a friend grabbed off SA: https://imgur.com/a/MJMgvkC
Might take you a second to see it. I'd also hesitate to make any claims about its status as art but it definitely made me linger on some complicated and uncertain emotions in the way art does.

the 3rd and 4th "shitposts" I can't really grok. Any pointers?
If you don't know the memes they reference, consider yourself blessed.
Deepfates not deepfakes woops

To me it is kind of scary how A.I. is so powerful. I wonder what is to come from it.
Ok I can see most of the shit posts but not all - help me out. It’s those magic illusion books all over again.
From left to right, top to bottom:
1. Trollface
2. Soyjack
3. Feels good Pepe (I think)
4. ???
5. Brian from family guy
I can’t make out what’s written with the fancy women walking down time square nor with the kittens
4 is loss!
need to click the full image for kittens. it says GAY SEX
now I see it!
3 is goatse, I can't figure out 4 either
I'm not seeing Goatse but it's been a while (not counting that image Anderseen posted)
the women in times square spell OBEY.
4 is also driving me nuts.
Earsex = 4 lol
OBEY took me a while - it helped to just look at their garments
