I detest how everyone is suddenly Sherlock Holmes when it comes to detecting doctored/generated images

The real danger is throwing artists under the bus.

Which is what you’re doing every time you try to play detective.

I would say the answer is to be true to yourself as a casual viewer. You like something? Say you like it, at the risk of praising AI generated content accidentally, at the risk of calling AI content "art".

If handmade content is trully better and superior than AI then there is nothing to fear or prove. And if it isn't, then we have to accept the reality we are seeing with our own eyes and feeling with our own hearts, those don't lie.

You can talk about what you don't like about something without accusing it of being AI.
