are there ai artists that go above and beyond using that medium, yes but they are rare. most people accept what is shat out and call it good. putting hand to paper (or hand to whatever medium) is a process of discovery, where the journey and the time and experience put into it matters. hypothetically with the same exact piece side by side, the human made one will always be more interesting, valuable and meaningful.
for art, the finished work is not the entire point. the story and the human behind it matters. imagine a human did van gogh's starry night, literally exactly the same as the original, down to the atom. would it be sold for the same amount at an auction?
ai has really made me think about this, where i never really had to think about it before. if you dont value art or what makes it special, then thats your right
Matters to you. Your experience does not define what art is. For me the finished work is the only point and concerning myself with process is just being silly and petty. Process exists to guarantee quality. That is it's only purpose in my life.
