It does look terrible. But keep in mind these decisions aren't made to please you or me on HN. The numbers clearly show the average user does not care about the AI look because they can't really tell the difference between human-gen and AI-gen. Whatever saves them money is what they will go with.
The average user is very unlikely, if preferences are high dimensional, and they are.

Do you have a link to the numbers that clearly show this?
Do you need statistical numbers for every information you receive? I don’t have any numbers to show you besides the fact that everyone I have spoken to in the last 6 months knows how to generate an image on ChatGPT. I work in the construction industry, and 100% of the companies I deal with have at some point posted an AI-generated poster on their social media, or created their flyers and business cards. YMMV.

It's not like it's saving people money. Instead it's letting them create things they never could have before
It’s saving huge amounts of money for a lot of small businesses. I’ve seen AI posters, business cards, fliers, logos, etc from accounting firms, plumbers, electricians, chippies - you name it. Whether these ad-campaigns are actually working for them, I don’t know.
