It's random slop shat out by a machine. Art requires a living, breathing human with thoughts, emotions, and experiences, otherwise it's just a pile of shit.
AI is a tool. The product can be a random slop if you give it sloppy instructions, or someone can realize this way their great artistic idea that they would not be able to make real otherwise. The pictures don't just generate themselves, you know? It's living people who tell the machine what's on their minds. If your mind is creative, the results can be good.
It's only immoral, not inherently of lower quality. Aesthetics and ethics aren't about what actually is, but about what should be. Even if an AI and a person produce the same image, the AI isn't a living, breathing human. AI art isn't slop because of its content, but because of the economic context. That's a far better reason to hate it than its mistakes and shortcomings.
