 All artists borrow from others. Some even try to imitate as close to the original artist as possible. However, because they are human, they can not help but incorporate their own life experience or personality into their imitation, which creates a new original piece of art which inspires others and continues the process. 

AI is so good at imitating that the new piece feels hollow because there is no soul or artist personality incorporated into it. Maybe someday that will change. 
 somehow midjourney “knows” lots of context so it can make art that captures what you’re asking. i suspect this will only get better over time with multimodal models. 
 Great artists alway create their own style that builds on their predecessors, but is uniquely their own and recognizable. I wonder if AI will ever be able to make that leap.

 Wouldn't you agree that we can't make a blanket statement about all AI art having no soul/personality? I feel like that's the entire point of art is that it's so subjective. I've generated some AI art that stirred emotion and wonder in me due to how cool and interesting it looked, so what should my interpretation of that experience be through the lens of this discussion? 
 That’s true. I guess it does stir some emotion. It could be considered post modern or even post post modern to some extent. 
 I agree. I think the friction is all just part of the change... things are changing in a way that is hard to wrap our minds around. 
 The more I think about it, the more I feel AI is just a tool used to make art. Like a synth. 

For example an artist could decide to make a piece of art with whatever they found in their trash and randomly place it in a collage. But the art is initiated by the idea to create the art which comes from the brain of the artist. 

The same with AI. It creates art but it is based on an initiating act from the user / artist. At some point AI could be capable of creating its own art using its own ideas. 

So, yes AI art is art as valid as any other form. But it has not made the leap to actually becoming an artist like a human… yet.
