I know a paper on this topic [1] whose take I really like: that AI generated works only become art through the eye of the artist.

In isolation a sunset is physics, photography is chemistry and AI is math. Without the artist there's no real difference between an AI song and playing /dev/random. Only through human interpretation do astronomy, chemistry and math turn into art.
