Here is where you are wrong. The AI art is built on even more "art consciousness" than any one of us has ever seen. It's a mirror reflection of our own culture, and we should respect it as such. But you say there is no one there, just a model? No, there is someone. There is a real flesh and blood human prompting the model. It's the result of many iteration cycles. At the very least it has some meaning for the prompter.
