Both can be true. A bunch of human artists are retarded weirdos. Humans still make the best art and, while AI art is intriguing, I do think it takes some of the magic that makes "art" "art" out of it. Art is, in my opinion, intrinsically human.
It does bring up some interesting philosophical questions though, about art and humanity as a whole. What is the correct answer, when AI does do art "better" than the greatest human artists? And...what about when they do everything else better too? Are humans just obsolete?
I know we've struggled with the questions of automation for much longer than the recent AI discussion, but we're definitely getting closer and closer to "replacing" humans, and that does raise some hard questions.
Back to art...my Luddite take; AI art is interesting and cool, but isn't art in quite the same way as traditional art. Call me old fashioned, call me a human supremacist or protectionist, whatever, but that's how I feel. Humans make art*, computers don't...exactly.
* And pretentious trash they call art, to OP's point.
Art is stagnant, that's why you see things like banana on wall.
Wittgenstein did a number on them and Foucault solidified being a subversive retard as the evolution of art, artists (even pop artists) haven't recovered since, they think making trascendental art is useless and lowbrow

Banana on a wall is money laundering. Post modern dadaist "art" is tax evasion and money laundering.
