I find AI an invaluable tool in writing my own politically oriented substack. Not for writing but for research with footnotes so the original source can be read. AI by passes the biased algorithms of other search engines like google, and you can overcome the subtle but inherent biases of the AI by challenging the output. AI reduces research time but sometimes I give that advantage back by going down spme rabbit hole just because it's intetesting. AI is just a tool to be used like any other.
If bandyquantguy had the idea then he is an artist. If he had taken the time to learn to paint in the style of Van Gogh and some basic photography skills, and actually created the images himself, then everyone would, I hope, agree that it was art. But, if he, using his acquired skills, painted a copy of Sunflowers, it would be deemed excellent craft, but no art. But, then again, if the art is not in the execution but in the idea then we must agree that Le Voyage IS art or else we must deny that the Sistene Chapel is art, or at least that Michael Angelo did not create it since, as I understand it, it is agreed that most of the actual painting was done by his subordinates. If you can't agree to this then , it seems to me that you are denying that anything can be art if it does not involve hard work. An odd definition.

“But, if he, using his acquired skills, painted a copy of Sunflowers, it would be deemed excellent craft, but no art.”
That would be art.
Then why do you not see any artists getting rich by painting in the style of Van Gogh?
Because what is “art” and what is “art that will get you rich” are not the same thing.
