That brings up the idea that art can be "outstanding in itself", aesthetic in a vacuum, disconnected from what people are caring about. That's dubious, but anyway the AI art doesn't attempt that. Instead it has access to a lot of freeze-dried human context which it rehydrates and presents like a fresh meal, so it partially succeeds at providing that significance.

You're right. Maybe I should have said 'painting or songs that do not SEEM outstanding in itself". My point is that an AI 'rehydrating' human context that you mentioned, is (usually) not enough to get the same significance as human-made art.

At least, for now.
