I just totally disagree.

I love art, I even love AI art and would probably be considered an art snob in general.

Midjourney often has the same problem with drawing lines. There is something just aesthetically wrong with the lines.

I don't care how an image is made. I only care about the output and these drawings are shit to me.

People of course have different taste in art as they do in food and all manner of subjective experiences. I would have to question how much art someone has really consumed to call this "profound". Of course you might really like it but to call this profound is absurd.

Because you're judging how does an AI art piece speaks to you as a human, while I am defining AI art in a more abstract sense as a form of communication between two beings.

Take e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_Altamira paintings or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_figurine. These things are probably not aesthetic to you either - as they're not to me. But it speaks to people who did it, and in that sense it's art, and it is profound. (And I would say modern AI is actually more relatable to us than humans 10k years ago.)
