The thing is, "AI art" and the like aren't meant for creative people, they're meant for those who consider the act of creativity itself to be "tedious, complicated, error-prone bullshit." People who can't even comprehend it being fun and meaningful in and of itself, but who can only see the inefficiency of a human process which needs to be optimized and automated away so that a commercially viable product can be delivered to market as quickly and efficiently as possible. So that they can "be a writer" without knowing how to write, or "be an artist" without knowing how to draw. "Make a game" without being able to write a line of code. And most importantly at all, not have to pay writers, artists or coders a dime.
This is why AI, for all of its potential good (and I do believe that potential exists, no technology has an inherent moral or ethical axis) can only inevitably be a cancer on society, because those developing it, putting up the funding and pushing the research, want the ends without the means.
