AI used by artists still has the artistic intention of the artist, so it becomes curation rather than creation, the same way an artist can hire people to help them bring their vision to life.
Nothing wrong with that if what the artist is happy with what the AI made (which will be as good as the artist's taste is).
The issue is when random people with terrible taste and zero artistic ability or thought engage in the same "curation" and are happy with the absolute garbage they make AI generate, so they flood the planet with slop that they're too dunning-kruger to distinguish from high quality art.
The problem isn't that it's non-human or whatever. It's that it dramatically increases the democratization of the arts, which results in the aforementioned flood that comes with far more downsides than upsides for the art world as a whole.
