> will oppose AI because it's too hot

This is actually a defensible position. It's not either-or - the "gross chuds" doing things you mention are worrying, too. But providing unrealistically attractive depictions of a human body is also a problem. It's been a problem for ages - all the girls and women who try to compete in beauty with celebrities and models (without a team of specialists supporting them), only to ruin their bodies through anorexia or bulimia, or their minds with depression, deep insecurity, and an inferiority complex, exist and deserve mention. AI(-generated images) is not the reason, but fits "well" into the preexisting social problem, and has a chance of intensifying it on a global scale.
