That a single museum hasn’t taken up this or something similar as an exhibit is telling.
There is no story worth telling. The context of seeing artifacts from another era of humanity is very elucidating. As is hearing the story of an artistic work that is more recent.
These stories and contexts interest people. The absence from museums is already telling. People and curators don’t think it has a story or context that is interesting.
Implicitly the story here is tech bros made silly images that look too much like NFTs. This story is not engaging or revealing to the wider public. Perhaps they don’t understand it.
Thus no one is putting it in a museum, even as a story of computers creating “art” and the designers and engineers behind the programs. Even the “creative” process of human engineers isn’t seen as that interesting.
The OP is saying all this is implied in an exhibit. That is how it gets to be an exhibit. Human interest. This doesn’t have it clearly. Perhaps one day humans will be drawn to AI images, but honestly I kind of doubt it.
