This was the same argument when cameras were invented, and artists moved to abstract and impressionist movement since realism in art couldn’t compete with photography. Then we had the same with manual graphic artist moving to digital vector software.
AI is not going away. Does it suck ass for artists: yes. Does it allow non artists to convey visual ideas they never could or could afford: also yes.
I hate AI when used like this, I think all AI effort should be human disease gene modeling, or other public benefits. But capitalism says no.
Ok, that makes sense. So what constitutes art? Is any kind of graphical depiction art? Are we banning computers from making drawings? Or just AI? How different is it from using the drawing tools in MS Paint to help me achieve a nice rectangle or a perfect circle? Something I would be unable to do by free hand drawing.
Your question was specific to AI images, not AI in general. There’s plenty of nuance to be had with AI, but art is one thing it should never do.
