We needn't get too hung up on this concept of "art" and whether or not AI images are art or not. For me it's just a tool for those who are not artistically talented to generate a visual image of an idea in their head. I see no harm in having a space for that here on lit - have a separate place for it away from the visual arts corner to keep the "art" purists happy if need be.
Er... and just how happy do you think the mouse clickers would be to be segregated from those with genuine talent?
Their whole strategy lies in the ego trip of being seen as a creative artist, i.e. deceit.
