as I'm sure many of us have for years ...
And now - with AI burgeoning ...
Thing is, to me anyway, even the 'enhancements' and 'tricks' long employed to embellish an image at least fell under the umbrella of artistic expression. With AI - and a human providing neither the 'embellishment' or the creative impulse behind it .. ? Do we truly have 'art' - if a human element and creativity is no longer the driver (or in fact really even involved) ?

And there we are - with pretty images ... But do they really say anything? Or - is it enough that something serves to light up the mind - delight the eye?
(Personally don't know - and probably not near smart enough to suss it out ... But it does give pause.)
