My company has a team of AI-enpowered artists who would overwhelmingly disagree with you on the premise that AI art is not art. Maybe you're the only one doing the laughing.
A lot of online "artists" are mad about it. Generally not professionals who actually need productivity, but semipros who live off one-off commissions or else people who are just generally mad at tech bros.
and claiming AI art is art would get you laughed out of any art discussion.
personally I think AI art is really cool, but to discount what Dalle 2 did for AI art is unfair.
