I don't know, all my alarms just go off when someone tells me AI can do 'art'. To my knowleadge AI, at this stage, doesn't know what a cat is when you ask for a drawing of a cat.
I’m no expert in aesthetics, but I do know that one of the big bones of contention in that subject is how much, if anything, authorial intent has to do with something being art. If authorial intent isn’t essential then there doesn’t seem any in principle reason why AIs shouldn’t create art, but if it is then unless and until AI develops the ability to have intentions, humans might be able to use AI as a tool to create art but AI wouldn’t be able to create art spontaneously.
The examples of AI art I’m aware of to date fit more into the tool-for-artists mould, where someone has specified elements of the images and then selected the one(s) that they think could be presented as art from a bunch of less successful images. If found objects can be art because of the intent of the artist in selecting and presenting them, then I’d see no reason why images created by AIs couldn’t also be, but I also wouldn’t see this process as proving AI could itself create art.
But I’m sure there are plenty of developments on this front that I’m not aware of, and possibly examples that are more compellingly of AI creating art from scratch.
