Idk to me it's pretty straightforward. If the picture has some extra fingers or something, it looks bad. If it looks good it looks good. I would argue that creativity is the biggest part of creation, and it's creativity that brought us all these things. I mean, I get what you mean to a degree. My kids art is objectively not good, but I love when they make things for me and proudly hang them. That said, if given the choice to pay someone to make a piece of art I want that I am not capable of making myself, or generate it with AI, I'm taking the AI work everytime. Why? Because Im cheap, and because I can just keep running it till it's perfect in my eyes. Some other artist will inevitably add their own flair that they think looks good in their eyes, but that may not match my vision anyways.
I mean it's like this- Humans make things to make their life easier, and to do things they aren't capable of. You wouldn't prefer a man with a file make a tight tolerance part over a CNC machine would you? It's the same thing. For all of us who aren't artists, it's a Godsend. If I make a Quake or Xonotic map and want some pictures on the walls of a house I'm going to generate them with Stable Diffusion. I'm certainly not going to attempt it myself, nor am I going to pay someone to make them for my free mod for an old game. Are there humans who can do better? Probably. Art is subjective. Most people are astounded by what simply owning a GPU can let you create from nothing more than words nowadays.

I'm waiting to see some AI art that looks good.
It can do better than probably well over 90% of the human population. But if you're an art snob and that's your thing, you do you.
No, just an artist.
