“AI” did none of those things. As much as you want to personify tools, a human was paid to use LLMs to generate that output. It did not magically create that out of its own free will. These are not people, and they do not act on their own.
How is this any worse than airbrushing models and Photoshopping movie posters?

Why ask the question then if you already knew the answer?
