I tend to be on the less militant side of AI art but for literal painting and sculpting AI art completely misses the point. So much of what makes them great is lost even in seeing a photo, the actual placement of shapes and colors is secondary to the painstaking choice of tool and technique.

For much-derided abstract art in particular the point was often the process. Mixing chemicals and new tools in ways never before thought of. AI Art could contribute to this in a Warholian way, but also in a way far too grand for AI-bros' tiny imaginations to grasp.
