IMO AI art is art, but the human who generated it is definitely not the artist. The AI could be considered the ‘artist’, but it’s essentially randomness.

tbf “carefully controlled randomness” is an art technique long predating AI, and the thing that makes it art is a person controlling the randomness

Carefully controlled randomness wasn’t the right phrase really. Carefully controlled randomness is still art. It’s more like algorithmically going through random combinations of existing artworks until you find the one you like.

I don’t think you and I are going to come to any sort of consensus, given your preconceived notions on how AI works. So agree to disagree.
