While I generally agree with you, they have some good points you're missing. It isn't "inspiration". These machine models aren't actually intelligent. There's no expressive element here, with regard to the machine producing the art. What it really is is just a new tool for producing art. The sculptor had his chisel, the painter had a paintbrush, the photographer had a camera, the graphic designer had Photoshop or whatever, and now you can make art by being skillful in coming up with a prompt. It still requires skill, skill with the tool, just like anything else. The difference is that this new tool (probably) doesn't enable the creation of anything truly novel.
