If an AI created an image and it was very beautiful, would you call it art?
No, if art requires intention/effort?
Yes, if it evokes a strong emotion in you?

no, it isn't art, it is just plagiarism as it is constructing something based on all of the material it was "trained" on (without any permission from the owners of the material, which makes it ironic for companies like Google to complain when someone else "steals" their own AI, and many of the AI crawlers do not respect the robots.txt bot exclusion standard at all)
aside from plagiarism, the electricity and water appetite of AI is only adding to our environmental woes, threating to break our power grids, and giving backwards conservatives a pretext for building new fossil fuel and nuclear fission power plants to meet the demand for something no one asked for or needed to begin with (and companies like Google are trying to cover up their water usage, plus also get all other utility ratepayers and/or taxpayers to fund the new energy and water demands of the AI companies)
AI is disgusting in every way, and that's only at this current primitive stage with LLM's ... the long term existential threat to humanity of more advanced AI (cited by people like Stephen Hawking) has not gone away
moreover, in the nearer term, as the job losses from AI accelerate, and intersect with the lack of restrictions on overpopulation, it has the potential to make democracies fail if something like a universal basic income is not implemented by conservative welfare skeptics .... if enough people become desperate enough, there is likely to be something resembling revolutions, even if the militaries of these countries can easily crush the uprisings
moreover, "AI psychosis" is already leading to human deaths even now
the heads of the AI companies themselves are already keenly aware of all of this, but they still nonetheless prioritize profits over the risks and damage to humanity and the environment they are causing and will continue o cause
