I've read that people with Trypophobia can often have similar reactions to these GAN type generated images. You may want to look into seeing if you have a mild case of it.

I think it is indeed a natural response. Animals/plants with lots of tiny holes look diseased to me.
By the way, if you do have this to the point of phobia, don't look at images of the Surinam Toad, whose young grow out of holes in the mother's back. Really, it's nightmarish.
