When Jackson Pollack was a new artist, a lot of people in the art world (and even more outside of it) rejected Abstract Expressionism as "art". Today, it is more or less universally accepted and respected. The same will happen for generative art. As an aside, my favorite painting in the world is Jackson Pollack's "Mural", which currently resides at my alma mater, the University of Iowa. Mural is quite famous, as it was the painting that made him - his first commission, for Peggy Guggenheim, proudly displayed at the entrance to her penthouse. It was recently appraised at about $250M. When Guggenheim moved back to Europe after WWII, she gave away a great deal of art to museums and universities. She offered Mural to the UI. It arrived with $4 in shipping costs due (it's quite large, about 20 feet wide). There was actually a debate at the museum about whether or not to pay such outrageous shipping fees for a worthless piece of abstract junk that isn't even real art. They keep the minutes of that meeting on display with the painting...
