AI can't make art in the way we define art, because we usually define art by who made it, rather than any characteristic of the object in and of itself. But if anything, a criterion that makes an object into art is its uselessness relative to its value:

Panting a fence, not art because it keeps the wood from rotting.

Painting a fence hot pink? Art because there's no good reason to paint a fence that color.

If we discover that birds hate hot pink fences, and that makes them last longer? Not art again.

A rich guy pays a million dollars for a hot pink fencepost? Art. Who's the guy who sold the hot pink fencepost? Does he have any other colors?
