> The issue with AI art is that the only human contribution in those pieces is the creation of the prompt and the curation of the final image. Without sensory and experiential inputs of its own, AI can only interpolate between real images and styles. So an AI generated image doesn't add much artistic value since its not expressing any new deep truth or factual understanding of the real world.

That kind of reasoning would throw entirety of Realism into "not art", because it is also not trying to express any artistic value. And there were arguments back then too

I guess whole debate about Realism could be just copy-pasted to discussion about AI arts...
