Is AI Art Really Art?

Is AI Art Really Art?

I began to think about the question, “Is AI Art Really Art?” after I discovered that many art galleries and artist associations won’t accept AI art.  At the same time, some artists creating AI art are making many thousands of dollars from selling their work, and a growing number of online galleries are selling AI art, though only a handful of physical galleries, mainly in a few countries in Europe. 

Meanwhile, many thousands of AI artists are using programs like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, Leonardo, and Night Café.
