AI generators are a tool that may help people create art. Like cameras and paints and any other tool used for artistic purposes. We always go "woe! the art form is dead!" when new tools show up; "electronic music isn't real music" etc. It never is. Someone made "art" with a jet engine splashing paint around once (at least). That was as relevant to the debate about "is it art" as the fuss over "AI tools" is. "It is art or not?" is the judgement of the viewer. The tools used by the artist, and opinions of rest of the audience aren't relevant.
