The week I used AI color palettes vs. picking my own - wild difference in feedback

So I spent last Monday through Friday doing a little experiment. I took my usual digital painting process and let an AI tool pick all the colors for three pieces. Then I did three pieces where I picked everything myself from scratch using my usual eye. By the end of the week, the AI palette pieces got way more comments in the showcase forum. People said the colors "felt more cohesive" and "had a mood." But my hand-picked ones got more detailed critiques about composition and lighting. Now I'm wondering if I'm just being lazy letting a robot do half the work, or if it's actually a legit tool to use. Which side do you lean on for showcasing finished work?

Saw something similar in a design blog where someone tested AI color matching on logos and got way more positive feedback than their manual picks. Makes you wonder if there's something to how machines process color theory that our eyes miss sometimes.
