I recently read a decent article (in Danish mind you), focused on the positions some volunteers had from getting more fans to their local football club... Because they now posted stuff on Facebook.
Then followed up by an expert on engagement, and statistics on about half the population felt AI image generations to be off putting - And a fair chunk of the remainder not really caring, and a small minority finding it cool/useful.
That experts main position, was the human touch was lost and the volunteer of the local football club would most likely get more people to stadium if they asked a bunch of 2nd graders to draw match day posts.
Because it would genuinely connect to people. So yeah, a lot of smaller businesses and volunteers are currently having a feeling all of this AI gen is giving them more traffic and attention, but in reality they're getting more attention because they went from doing nothing to doing something
