I used DALL·E 2 to generate a logo

I feel like you look at this too much as a creator rather than the customer. The logo may be not optimal for every medium, not have a great palette, not have the feel you would give it... But the author is happy with the result, so who are we to say it's bad/good? Paraphrasing @mipsytipsy "colour harmony doesn't matter if the user isn't happy". (yes, I get the nuance where it's part of the designers job to explain why certain design elements are more beneficial, but the general point stands for "i want a logo for my small project" case)

Why is the creator the only one that needs to be happy? I assume they created that project to be used by others and to possibly monetize it. That sounds more like the users / clients are the ones that are supposed to like it...

I never understood this logic, where the creator of something does something seemingly stupid and people are like "Well, don't use their project then if you don't like it". Instead of constructively calling the problem out, so the creator can try to make it better.

If my logo sucked, I'd like people to please tell me...

Because they define what the success is. If their goal is to make money they may want a logo which is the closest to optimal for getting clicks. If they want a private project, they may want it to be fun. And many other scenarios... You're welcome of course to do constructive criticism, but in the end it's up to them if they want to apply it.

You're right. A million shitty logos are created every day, and for the vast majority of them, they will serve their purpose. And contrarily, there will always be a marketplace for companies/entities who want a logo that has purpose, novelty and intelligence behind its design. I definitely see a chasm between an AI-catered subclass and human-catered superclass forming.

Weirdly, with the advent of AI, we might start to see exactly what it is that makes human beings special.
