Do conservatives actually have a weird obsession with AI art, or is it just that it gets shared a lot here?

I could understand these people using it all the time, because it is art without the art, without the deeper meaning, it is just "pretty pictures" and conservatives hate the idea of anything having deeper meaning, everything must be a surface level analysis to them.
