I can't tell if AI is good or bad. As an image generator, it is good. The origin of an idea in the human brain... formulation of a correct task for AI... this is also creativity and the result can be excellent. But what does this have to do with photography?
This is just another branch of fine visual art.
I consider it a fraud to pass off AI's work as a photo. Someone uses AI in their messages - great, just leave a note that it's AI and no problems.

That's an excellent way to summarize its usage with no credit - "fraud".
Of course, as everything in our world, it has its positive and negative sides.
Thank you!
It is unknown who uses whom. AI collects information about us while performing our tasks and possibly manages our further behavior with its results.
I don't believe that this hype just started like that, so someone definitely needs it and most likely not the AI itself...
