We cannot compare self-driving with art generation. If self driving fails at an edge cases somebody is hurt or dies. When art fails you just need a better promp

  Where self-driving and art generation are similar is a belief in the extremes of computing capabilities. Self-driving enthusiasts believe that a computer will be able to operate a car far more safely than a human. This is in spite of the complete lack of evidence (so far) that this is true. Similarly, look at your statement “when art fails you just need a better prompt.” It seems to exclude the possibility that computers will be incapable of creating certain art no matter what the prompt is. I’m not saying this because of some ineffable or supernatural attribute of human creativity, but because of the shortcomings in our flawed human attempts to create computing systems.

    But are those shortcomings fundamental and insurmountable? I don't believe so. While I agree with you about the current state of the art, in principle I think the project of "AI creates original art" is possible. Though it may take a few centuries to get there.
