Almost every time I see an AI generated art piece, I know it's AI generated, and it looks cheap. Sometimes an actual experienced artist uses AI and manages to tweak it to look decent, either by prompt engineering or further manipulation. There's nothing that yet replaces the human taste for what looks good nor what resonates for contemporary audiences. At best, it could be said that AI has further reduced the value of derivative art and photography.

A lot of the AI "art" I've seen looks like a psychotic serial killer made it. There's just something wrong with it, especially when it depicts humans - the eyes are insane, the facial expressions look like the subject wants to cannibalize me. If it were a human artist, I would suggest they seek mental help. It's honestly kind of scary that this is what computers are creating, it's no wonder some people worry about AI destroying humanity.
One time I only input the style of the image basically leaving the description empty. I was wondering what it would come up with by it self. It served a human head on a table. I didn't need a second image.
