There is a role for such tech in filtering, bot detection, preventing spam, in the spheres of mass processing. But in the intimate space of human communication I don't think it works.
Nonetheless there is demand. There was also, once, demand for psychic mediums who could detect if *other* psychic mediums were frauds.
People continue to use "lie detectors" despite all of the evidence that polygraphs are junk.

AI causes a lot of anxiety because being "fooled" by AI makes us feel foolish.
If you look at a painting and enjoy it, only to later find out it was generated it can make you wonder if you have the perceptive appreciation of art that might be a part of your identity.
If you laugh at a joke generated by AI, do you have a sense of humor?
No one likes to feel like we have been tricked. But let me "tap the sign" I am not immune to propaganda. I can be "fooled" by AI.

I'm putting "fooled" in quotes since, just as cloud computing is just "other people's computers" AI generated content is just other people's recycled art.
Some of the time, AI generated content can be good. It can be moving, meaningful, and some artists incorporate it into their work effectively. When I've looked at the kind of work flow that allows AI to be used effectively a lot of the "magic" vanishes. A person is still curating, refining, and shaping the final product. It's time consuming.

The thing I resent about my suspicion about things being AI generated is that it contaminates things the other way: I end up doubting or dismissing legitimate but overly dramatic or "perfect" photos taken by actual photographers.
But you're right: it's not that there's something subjectively bad about the product of AI but simply that the production of art (or writing or music) by AI is a repudiation of human effort, experience, and communion.
