It's not that simple. The current generation wave of so called "AI tools" such as GPT-, DALL-E and the rest generate fantastic results because* someone did the enormous work of scraping a huge amount of someone else's work (texts, images). Of course you'd argue humans do the same: they absorb a huge number of inputs and generate content based on that. However, there is something else in automated solutions like this one that places tools like Copilot on the verge of more or less sophisticated plagiarism. And when you look closer at the images, you discover oddities just like in the faces of AI-generated people. Real art, on the other hand, is all about innovation and exploration. That's one of the reasons there are fewer and fewer traditional paintings in modern art museums. The current generation of AI is still very much a copycat, not a creator. I believe this might change, but we'd need a complete paradigm shift for that - ML is almost useless as the core of such solution, as much as generative art algorithms.
