A lot, as in a large amount, its hard to put a finite number on something like a large part of a large community I am not a part of nor interested in.

I am not the only one who has noticed this, here is a skit video from 4 moths ago demonstrating this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTBCzH1UyNY

As for sources there are TONS, it takes 5 seconds of googling to find a whole page, including:

Hell, just open one of the NFT marketplaces like opensea, I went to the art tab and the top trending is AI "art"

Yeah I don’t know why it’s a surprise to anyone that NFT losers are now morphing into AI losers. It’s a bunch of talentless hacks trying to get rich quick through the lowest possible input of effort. Bonus points that they get to annoy a lot of people in the process.

Yeah, but if you buy my course, and not the 100 000 courses, I will show you how to get rich, just like me! The other 100 000 courses don't know my secret. But for 2000$, I will tell you my secret.

What's 2000$ when you will be a millionaire soon?
