Probably, in some form, somewhere in the cosmos, since it’d be weird if Earth were THAT special. They probably haven’t visited though.
Yes, we can see it pretty directly! (More on this in next.)
There are surely some limits to our knowledge but we do know a lot.

Sure, AI is costing $billions and consuming copious resources, all to produce creepy slop that barely anyone likes. But the alternative would giving that funding to actual human artists. Can you imagine!?! Countless talented people, with free reign to create. What sort of world would that be!?
