The pushback is not mainstream. At least it’s not filtered through in any meaningful way to any business decisions yet. Nobody is hiring photographers when they can just hit the slop button and be done with it. I’m also convinced some are deliberately putting this shit out there purely for engagement purposes, it creates controversy and drives clicks.

Look at the fashion band Mango. They did a high-profile AI campaign, stopped shooting real models/clothes. They caught some shade but it did not affect sales, just a short term period of controversy, which management were probably were very happy with.
