Not sure I'd say these machine learnings tools are capable of art.

And rather than calling the definition of art outdated, it makes more sense to call this machine learning generation stuff "artificial art" or "superficial art" or some other separate term. It doesn't make sense to mix two rather incompatible concepts.

They're obviously capable. Some of the content is indistinguishable from human-created content.

Actually I would say most of it is, since humans can produce bad art as well.

You're worried about the process, and I get that. But the result is art.
