@aeva I’m not super sure how much AI image generation models struggle with noise, but modern video & image compression algorithms struggle quite a bit which may be part of why the noiseless look has become so desirable. I’m certainly in the camp that thinks noise can be pretty, and in modern films, it is often added in post.

Subjectively, I think *chroma* noise is what makes noise look bad. Try denoising only the chroma planes of your render with some wavelet denoiser and see if you agree.
