I have felt both of those things simultaneously for years. It's cool that computers can just do this now, but it's completely missing the spirit of art and I hate looking at it.
It can still be technically incredible while not being pleasant to have it proliferate.
This surely varies by platform, but in the occasional glances I make at social media feeds it feels like uncanny, off-putting AI slop is creeping up in percentage of content. I can't speak for GP but that affects how I feel when I see AI generated imagery, whether or not I'm impressed by the technical capability.
