I understand liking AI stuff, but calling it art, I think, is deceptive at best.

I think art requires the intentional minuscule effort of a human being in its foundation. And AI is like other art that has been ground into paper mache and then plastered into the shape of something that resembles art rather than art itself.

While the case could be made that if a human being did that, that that would be art, the fact that a human being did not do it is the reason why it isn't art.

    GenAI doesn't generate anything on its own either - it too needs the intentional minuscule effort of a human being in its foundation. I don't think the "effort" argument holds up here anyway. People happily accept as art a photograph that took me 30 minutes to capture and edit, but they reject a GenAI piece I spent 3 hours tweaking until I got exactly what I wanted.
