All those feelings become invalid because the thought that was provoked by the image will be some generic and unoriginal thing picked up by the GenAI during training rather than new, original ideas by the author. If that thought was intended by the author of the GenAI image that'd be cool with me, but there's frankly no way of knowing for sure and it's very unlikely, so I just reject all GenAI art.
I see we have a fundamental disagreement on what ultimately matters in a piece of art. You believe it is the artist's thoughts and intentions that are important, while I believe that it is the thoughts and emotions each individual feels when experiencing the final product.
Personally, I try to learn as little about the artist as possible before judging a work. It doesn't matter to me if the artist was an accomplished French artisan with decades of experience, or if they were a 7 year old Chinese girl. I don't really care if the artist was channeling their feelings of loneliness in a chaotic world by depicting a lone rowboat in a lake, or if they just passingly thought a rowboat would be a good addition to their pretty lake painting. I prefer interpreting a work from an unbiased perspective, I suppose that's why it doesn't matter to me if a work of art was made by a human or AI, because it doesn't fundamentally change the final product or my experience of it.
