Yes. Much of the "wow factor" of generative AI is simple sleight of hand. Humans are trained to see patterns where there are none, and ignore anything that doesn't fit our preconceived notions of order. Often AI is just a complicated Clever Hans effect. For a real example: once you start analyzing an AI image with a critical mind, you see that most of the image violates basic rules of composition, perspective and anatomy. The art is frankly quite trash, and once you see it it is hard to unsee.
