I suspect they anticipate exponential increases in ML generated content creation quality and/or they expect that users will gobble up AI slop and it won't effect medium/long term engagement growth.

I guess so, but engagement does not equal revenue, and the models are black boxes that are already falling apart. I have no idea where exponential improvement should come from - throwing more and more computational power into the maw can only get you so far.
