Engagement down since AI art?

Is it just me or did engagement - voting, commenting - drop sharply after after AI media flooded the site?
Don’t get me wrong - some AI pics are absolute bangers (especially the ever improving “realistic” generators).
But I got the feeling that the attitude “AI art is not art” combined with the sheer amount of really high quality mass produced media either diluted impressions or inhibited the willingness to give a like or comment. Or both.
Did you notice something similar, either as creator or patron?
