A weird effect the "Malfoid" thing may be an indicator for: AI art has been deeply rejected by the traditional artist community which skews strongly left. The right wing normally doesn't have access to participation in or creation of art at anywhere near the same rate as the left. The right likes to stake out anti-left positions. So you see a lot of the young right now embracing AI art - because it's exciting to them to have access to art production they used to be gatekept out of, and "Malfoid" is sort of the first real wave of this. (Crypto rightwing grifters did an AI art wave around Stable Diffusion but it was much less coherent and not organized around common cultural touchstones that had mainstream / mass appeal.)
If the slopulist right is more prolific in generating high-quality material through AI than the left for a long enough time, there is a risk of the left being left behind in terms of popular impact via new media. The left will want to write this off as chuds doing chud things but there's a real risk to the left in doing so. It's part of a broader pattern of disgust and disbelief responses from the left leading to the left opting out of long-term influence and power in new ideas and institutions.
