I agree. The enjoyment I get out of a good piece of art isn’t just the piece of art itself, it’s that experiencing the art is a way to kind of connect your mind with the human that made it. If part of the art resonates with me, it’s nice to know that there was another person that felt the same way. If the art is a technical marvel, so can think about the genius and skill of the creator.

AI art doesn’t have any of that and I have to conclude that people who talk about enjoying AI art to the same level as human-made art just never bothered to connect with human art on that deeper level
