What everyone in these online arguments miss. Personhood. What makes art and all human creations meaningful is that it was made by a human. That has an unrepeatable point of view, and is trying to say something about the world. We can relate, empathize, with that human, and in that connection, imagining what they're trying to say—what they were seeing or thinking when they did that thing—lies meaning. AI will never cross that line. We cannot empathize with the machine, there's no consciousness or sentient experience that we know of that we can relate to. The machine has no particular point of view it's trying to express, it has nothing meaningful to say about the world, it has no concept of the world. It's just probability numbers crunching in an electronic calculator. It's not human, it's not a person, and thus their creations have no meaning. Similarly to how we tend to reject corporate impersonal, void artwork, it says nothing, only ads. It has no point of view, just profit. It has no meaning, but consumption. It's banal, even if it's aesthetically pleasing.
