I think that's just about the context of where you see the content.

It's not that interesting as a hacker news post, or somewhere else with a tech audience.

The actual value for these things is in the mainstream, making content creation and graphic design easier.

In those fields, it's not about the novelty of, "wow that's impressive, how did they do that?". It's just about creating engaging content which is aesthetic and pleasing to people.

I expect it to be less engaging/pleasing and more instant article-filler material. To actually make something artistically interesting still requires effort, just a different kind of effort. The vast majority of these sorts of images will probably be uninteresting gags and background art.

In a way, the same is true of photography and digital art already, so this isn't a total condemnation (that is, most pieces have almost no value). I just don't think this particular kind of image generation is going to be a vehicle for anything noteworthy.
