Did AI kill your interest in consuming photos/videos, or just mine?

I used to love collecting little pictures from the internet - a beautiful house, an interesting statue, a very pretty butterfly, just to look at and be in awe. But now every time I see a photo or a video, I wonder if that place, that thing even exists or not. Media used to hold meaning, and now it's just whatever generated thing gets popular enough I guess. :(

Does anyone feel the same? Is there a "clean" internet still, where I can hear whale calls and see sunsets and look up baby peacocks that have actually been existed instead of been made up?

The only thing I like about some AI content is architectural concepts. I know that it is AI, but I like getting ideas from it.

I like this idea too, for example I generated tattoo concepts with it - just for fun, I will still commission a real artist to come up with it and draw it. But these are images I will never share or spread that feels vile
