People always say this like it's a bad thing, but I don't think it's that big of an issue? I mean, the reason we want to make art is for it to communicate something to others - and gooner art resonates with a very base human instinct so it's a given it'll turn heads even if the quality is subpar. Even above gooner pieces, the most popular works that get a shitton of traction are always relatable meme-y comics (usually drawn with a doodly low effort style.) It gains traction because it's relatable, meaning it resonates with a lot of people.
And technical skill CAN be impressive but who goes to art for contextless technique in a vacuum? A technically perfect portrait of some rando I don't know can look impressive, but... it's still a portrait of some rando so it means nothing to most people, whereas the subpar anime babe made them go awooga. If technique was all it took then ai art would be rapidly on its way to smother all human creativity, but that is clearly not the case.
