AI art is human expression in the same way that the Gaussian blur tool is. It's a bunch of math spitting out a pattern based on specific inputs.

All while currently being as ethical as the fast fashion industry producing scam versions of high fashion products.

It has the potential to be very useful in certain applications, but right now, all it really does is create Content to be consumed. Kinda like elevator music or that horrible Corporate Memphis style that has invaded every piece of corporate media/advertising in recent years. Soulless and without meaning. It's pretty high quality slop, all things considered, but slop nonetheless.
