Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap. "Everything" includes all of art, and all sub-genres of art.

You might not have looked hard enough. If you are interested in finding the good ones, you should spend some time poking around; there are definitely demos with beautiful results, from people trying to make art, that aren't about the algorithm.
