If it were possible to tell, at a glance, whether something was or was not AI, it would not be causing nearly the social harm that it does.
It seems like you’re shifting away from the point of discussion, which was whether AI output can be art, and more towards the general dangers of the technology itself, which is a whole other discussion.
My opposition is to demon tech produced by vampires.
It also seems like this discussion is taking a toll on you. If you are interested in continuing it, there’s no harm in taking a step back and coming back later.
there is hardly confusion about whether something is or is not a photograph.
This proposition is refuted by hyperrealistic paintings such as La hora del té by Magda Torres Gurza. You can see that this is not a photography if you pay attention to the reflections. But certainly not at “first glance”.

Okay, this was 15 hours ago, so I don’t remember who did what exactly, but I do know I was soapboxing, so yeah, we’re gonna cover a lot of bases.
The actual question of whether it’s art is simple: It’s not. It can be used in art, but unto itself, it’s just novel spectacle. Art comes from the conscious.
If it were art, it still wouldn’t be your art. It would be the robot’s art.

I did have a nap, thanks.
This is just demon tech. Like the demons in Frieren. They say words like “hello” and “thank you” in my holy tongue to manipulate, but they know not what any of my words mean. The words “I love you” serve no purpose other than to stop me from ending its life with the power button.

And these are… common? These are clogging up google search results with their hyperrealistic spam? You realize that photography is the loser in this exchange, right? Hyperrealistic paintings are so much cooler than a machine that takes hyperrealistic photos.
