First define "true art" and we'll start there

Precisely, that's why we need a bit of help from philosophers and people that has deep historical knowledge of Art.

From my naivety, if art started as a form of human expression, purely synthetically produced expressions are the antithesis of art. We can discuss what that is instead.

I think many people who aren't artists lack the skills to express their creativity and imagination, in a visual way like the artists do, and that's how this kind of AI tool can help with.

But you're talking about high-cultural art thresholds, which is a valid topic but not the core of the concept.

Any kid is an artist in a way, every caveman that painted its cave was an artist, you seducing your wife/girlfriend/significant other are doing art. Some silly memes are or aren't?

That's why I repeat. We need a remix of technologists and philosopher's raising this discussion up.
