Well said. I actually do appreciate many forms of art, but I feel that many artist (that I know) are just a mixture of regurgitators and expert salesmen. They make something random, then come up with a backstory that makes it somewhat interesting. This AI can out perform them, without the need for the ingenuous hook story.

The serious ones who stick around doing the same thing for a lifetime do eventually find some meaningful essence however abstract that is. But there is indeed a lot of deception in the art world since it is a non quantifiable subject the story does add some value

I wouldn't call your relationship with art "appreciation". Sounds more like undisguised disdain.

I appreciate art, not artists. You seem to either have misread what I said, or are actively trying to misattribute my words.

  Can you have one without the other ?

  Apparently, now, you can...

Interpreting the random is a fair form of art. Like a sports commentator or video game mechanic.
