The struggle is real, although the problem of gems getting ruined because they became too popular existed well before AI (or even the internet). The internet (and probably AI) just compress the timelines.
I learned to deal with this by internalizing that any truly fantastic place is only temporary so I should enjoy it during the relatively short time it's fantastic. Once it gets beyond a certain level of popularity, it either degrades to a point where it's no longer exceptional, or it becomes too difficult to actually get into anymore.
In my town, there are a handful of truly exceptional restauranteurs who struggle with the very same issue. What they've taken to doing is starting exceptional restaurants and running them for a couple of years, then shutting them down and starting anew with different ones with different food styles in different locations.
