We're not "seeking" to do anything. Ai art is a pretty logical and inevitable step in our progress in this recent breakthrough in machine learning. But we're making AI out of everything for which there is a large amount of data on the internet. The same tech that is creating AI art by stealing assets off of the Internet is also combing through sequenced DNA to find patterns and analyzing telescope data to find anomalies.

And none of this new AI tech has anything to do with robotics or ship dismantling so it makes sense that that isn't the field being advanced by it. Although I bet you could fiddle with AI to analyze data around ship dismantling to make it more efficient.
