Of course not, they want new stuff; artwork that evolves over time and feels fresh. Automatic generative art algorithms aren't capable of that.

And artists are?

Yes? That's how art has always worked.

Nothing new under the sun.

That's not why at all. This happened because someone published AI art with a wonky limb and people noticed. "Generative art algorithms" are completely capable of producing art that feels new and fresh. The biggest problem with them currently is producing art that is undetectable as AI art.

I don't really buy that for the most part. A lot of generative AI art looks real generic and undetailed. It could very well pass for human art but I've yet to see anything that looks good.
