Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists' permission. And that's without getting into AI's negative drag on the environment.

Despite what people with no knowledge of the field will tell you, Machine Learning and LLMs fall under the category of AI. What you're looking for is a very specific type of AI. If AI art doesn't exist, it would be because the art usually doesn't have meaning or effort, not because AI doesn't exist.

Intelligence is the misnomer. It's like calling airplanes 'artificial birds' (credit Don Norman).

~~Humans create art, AI generates images based on other's art.~~

~~AI art is a contradiction in its own wording.~~

~~There is no AI art, just large collections of public domain images labeled as "AI art"~~

I misread, just woke up.
