> a human artist would do better.

Except we have all seen really awful human made posters long before AI. People are just upset just to be upset at this point.

Code was nosediving before AI badly.

Despite this being a technical community we seem to be really bad at understanding scale.

A bad artist is at worst like a fee pieces of trash littered in your lawn. Bad AI art is like a dump truck tipping over into your yard. And you see 10 more dump truck coming in at 90mph. It doesn't matter if it's a recyclables truck and all the bottles are individually cleaner and more Eco friendly than candy bar wrappers. The magnitude is still overwhelming.

You can ignore a few bad artists you don't like. You can't ignore swimming through slop day in and day out. Friction in a previously smooth environment angers people, and AI creates a lot of newfound friction.

What? What are you comparing this pre-AI 2020s code to? 90s and 00s code for sure was worse.
