I see AI art as mostly a toy. As in, you can easily create nice looking pictures, but it falls flat when you want something specific. The thing with intellectual property is that currently, its necessary so that artists can be paid for their work, but it last way too long. I'd be in favor of limiting to twenty years since publication. This would allow artists to monetize their work, even handsomely, if they produce something outstanding, but it would stop cultural landlords like Disney from arising.
Although if you personally can't draw, and therefore can't actually put your idea on the canvas exactly as you think of it, it isn't that far off from commissioned art once you learn how to use inpainting.
You iterate each part until you end up with the results you are happy with.
I'm not a graphical artist personally but I'd imagine that even those who can draw don't always have the skill to lay it out exactly as in their head either.
I mess around with music a bit as a hobby and I feel like it took me years to learn how to actually carry an idea from my head all the way to a track without it changing simply because I lacked the skill to express what I wanted, and even still it sometimes isn't quite right.
