Doesn't AI generated art violate the whole definition of art?

This is a good question, I dunno really.
On one hand is art really art without the bullshit story of the maker that defines the art? Sometimes we really want the creator to shut up making bullshit stories and just enjoy what has been made.
On the other hand, is a AI algo really a form of being creative? Nature is an algo that creates things.
Do things have to be art to appreciate their beauty? Is art about beauty? Is art about statements?
etc. etc.
Probably all answers are personal really.
Depends on how meta you want to be. This output requires skilled application of software development and aesthetic judgement. You could call that the 'art'.
Or maybe it's synthetic art or simulated art.
Either way I feel it has value.

I think Mario Klingemann said it the best. https://vimeo.com/298000366 This becomes just a tool, like everything else
