Oh, yes!!!! When you have endless access to the pictures finely tuned to your fetishes, that's, indeed, very addictive!
It's been said before that it's the act of making AI images that gets compulsive, rather than viewing them. You get the greatest dopamine hit generating images, not viewing them. Even if you have a folder of your own 'perfect' images that you made just yesterday, you'd rather make even more. The easy thing to do is to make scores of variations of the same image, changing the art style or the camera or the clothing or the composition, whilst retaining the fundamentals. It's the magic of intermittent variable reward, like when you open a treasure chest in a computer game.
But whilst addictive it's obviously not satisfying in the long-term. Given you're using a literal dream-machine, it'd be better to make scores of totally different images, or to limit it to one stage in a process where you have developed a workflow combining multiple different AI tools such as image to video, scriptwriting, text to speech, background music generating. I've done that a few times and it's much more fulfilling. But it requires being in a considered, rather than a tranced-out state of mind....
