It might be in your circle but I guarantee you people like my boomer parents (who are still on Twitter by the way) would not notice this at all. They might even respond.

They don't need to notice to change. Unpleasant or uninteresting experiences can lead to them frequenting these places less until they just don't anymore. A big part of subscription services' profit comes from these changes being made so unconsciously that people forget to cancel.

I'm not a boomer or stranger to technology and i don't notice most modern AI creations, unless really looking for the telltale signs in the almost invisible details and even those are getting harder to spot.

Random ass tweet or picture doesn't deserve that time and attention to look for those details to determine whatever it's AI or man made, it's still data garbage.
