Art is a uniquely and specifically sentient endeavour. Seeking to communicate in an intentionally more abstract way to allow for wider interpretation and attempting to touch upon something more true to the viewer by allowing their personal intepretations to convert into the viewer's internal dialogue.

Churning out "independent" genAI "artwork" is pointless because it has no intentions. And its insufficiency as a tool only means the naive user compromises on their intention to conform to the tools' limited palette and capabilities.

Whereas an actual artist, when confronted with the limitations of their tools can attempt to sublimate or evolve their ideas, the genAI user must merely settle and delude themself that "yes, this is what I wanted." Or else their "artistic intention" was so pedestrian that it could have been a declarative sentence. Indeed, it fits that their prompt to a genAI agent is equal to artistic ambition.
