Perhaps that is to do with the meaning we ascribe the images it generates, rather than anything about the images themselves?
For example, if your dog just died then you don't care about who assembled the pixels to make a loving memorial poster, you just care that that group of pixels means a lot to you. It can have soul if you give it soul and meaning, in my opinion.
Imo it's similar to how artists often find a lot more meaning in their own artwork than other people do- dedicating time to produce something lets you put some of your own soul into it, even if that is only 30 minutes to generate then touch up.
Maybe a bit of both, caz the real question is if your dog passed away, and you pay an artist to draw your dog for a memorial, but they just generate it with AI. Will it still carry the same mesaage, or feel fake?
My take on it is that maybe in a few years they'll be indistinguishable. But as of now, I'd wager that you'd probably feel that the picture has no love in it. And as I said above I can't point it out why you'd feel that way, just intuition.
