I personally don’t “like” a lot of completely AI generated images although I do think they can be useful sometimes. Really though every digital photo is created by algorithms in a computer in some way. You don’t see the raw sensor data from a camera, there are algorithms that are adjusting the image. If you don’t override these yourself then you are still seeing a manipulated image in the way the manufacturer has decided it should look. And if you capture the raw file then you need to manipulate it yourself on a computer which gives you more control and in that case more manipulation could be “better” “art” (depending on your point of view!).
