Let's imagine your world, the one where an AI agent hunts through the slop and finds the stand out creators.
How would you feel if all of the stand-out creators it found were all AI? If your answer is "well, that wouldn't happen" then you may be committed to a view for ideological reasons.
Also consider that the feeds for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube etc. are more or less what you are asking for and they exist right now.
I don't think anyone considers Insta, TT, or YT the pinnacle of what's possible creatively.
As for AI gen - AI is making zero art on its own. It's all AI-assisted, whether that means a one word prompt or hours of editing.
I can imagine AI being better than humans at art of all kinds, as and when it gets a theory of mind. Whether that's a good thing or a bad one depends on how that's used. If it's designed entirely for addiction, that's a bad thing.
But we already have that.
More interestingly, I think AI has the potential to be better by breaking out of that loop.
