I'm sure you're right that AI augmented workflows can (& do?) produce beautiful works that I would call art... it's just that the overwhelming majority of AI 'art' I experience on the internet is slop.

I feel like I make this comment a lot, but: how do you know?

You recognize obvious slop as slop. But this is a survivor bias-like phenomenon. You have no idea what goes unnoticed.

If you're talking about stuff posted to communities that are self-selecting for AI art submissions, that's another kind of fallacy.
