I understood you just fine. What you don't seem to understand is that art depends not on the medium but the creator. Where do you draw the line? If I throw a sculpt of mine not into SDXL but Cycles to render, does it suddenly become art? Or is it still not art because I'm not using a paintbrush, hell I'm not doing a single bit of shading? Do I need to work with actual clay? That clay also has an undo button (of sorts). Does only marble count? What's your standard? Can you articulate it?

The vast bulk of AI pictures out there are bland and uninspired because it's not artists who hit the generate button. It's as simple as that. There's also plenty of bland and uninspired oil on canvas out there -- not as large a proportion because the craft is not easy to pick up while staying completely artistically illiterate, but it's still there because artistic expression is not the only reason why people paint. And that's fine. And so is randos typing "big tiddies" into a prompt box and hitting generate. Noone claims that's art, but at the utmost that it looks nice.
