define what exactly it expresses without human input, without relying on
human databases of knowledge and information.  a human can create art and 
expression without knowing any of the "rules" of art, without having any
prior experience or exposure to media.  look at outsider art as whole for
many many many examples of this.  you wanna stick to the objective facts of
it all?  ai art, alongside all other speculative machine learning ventures,
is an entire market whose contingency relies upon the continual plundering of
natural resources of the earth to an unsustainable degree

the "reality of the situation" is that corporations get to funnel their
marketing and research into this kind of market in order to gain capital and
power in an unprecendented way because there is very little regulation,
corporations get to waste hundreds of thousands of millions of gallons of
water every month to run computers to do a multitude of jobs worse than their
already underpaid workers could have done to begin with, all the while
getting to save their face by describing the "magic and unparalleled power of
artificial intelligence"

you cant say you enjoy art and human experience, and uphold that you enjoy
art created by machine learning models.  a machine is not a human, a machine
does not instill a human experience into art.  if you genuinely believe
artforms from machine learning models are, to any degree, equivalent to
artforms from a human, you dont like art --- you like products
