The point is misdirected here. Not that AI art is bad or good. A robot can fix good soup vs your mom fixing good soup. But which do you want? Also AI art is not unique. Your mom's soup is unique. This bowl of chicken noodle might taste like somewhat others, but it is still unique to her. The AI art is unique to nothing. It is reproducible to infinity. One might call it soul instead of uniqueness. Or love or even that life is infused into the soup or the art. In the article, take the picture of Kennedy for example. AI art is nice and that is the end of the story. In fact, there is NO story. But the artist might have a story. "I painted this the afternoon when he found out that his son has just learned how to pitch softball underhanded, properly. He was so full of pride that day." No AI can infuse a painting or any artwork with emotion. All it can do is lay down lines, shapes and colors. Maybe we can add our interpretations to it later, but that it all. If you want miscellaneous colors and shapes, AI will be fine, if you want art, turn to a human for that.

Many mothers pass off canned soup as home made lol.
The story of an AI art is the story of the prompter - why did they want to make that particular image.
Sure, they do not have full control of the result, but if they did not approve they could always discard it and make another.

Maybe your mom so you assume most?

Nearly one-quarter of respondents (24%) confessed to a soup-related “white lie” – they admit to passing off canned soup to dinner party guests as homemade! Millennials led the pack with nearly half (48%) saying they’ve engaged in this shady behavior, while far fewer Gen-Xers (22%) and Baby Boomers (5%) admit to the same. Furthermore, more than twice as many men (36%) than women (14%) say they’ve passed off canned soup as homemade.

Definitely the robot soup. I've had a lot of "made with love" meals that were frankly worse than what I can get out of a can or a frozen box. "Made with love" doesn't actually cover for a steak cooked till it's gray and dead, or a cake that's dry and tasteless.
If you have a mom that can make great soup, congratulations. You are lucky and you should enjoy that. A lot of people don't have that. They might not even have a mom. For them, the robot soup is better than the bad soup or no soup that they would get otherwise.
Most people consume most visual media for the "colors and shapes", not for the artist's story or emotion. The vast majority of the time, we don't even know the artist's story or emotion.
Campbell's and Boyardee didn't replace Gordon Ramsay and never will. But they did allow millions of people to have acceptable, low-cost food, which they would otherwise not have had access to.

You really don’t understand metaphors or art. I’m a retired chef and my wife is a professional artist that owns a gallery that represents 22 other artists. We’ve sold hundreds of pieces of art. You somehow ended up talking about people not having a mom?
