What art is formulaic? What art is just the old stuff rehashed? What art is shallow or simplistic?

Derivative.
If you’re talking about AGI, potentially any form of art would be at its grasp, maybe even some which may not necessarily look like art to us.
If you’re talking about the generative models of today, they are incapable of producing art, because they are incapable of emotional intent and expression.
Even Warhol was driven by disdain, and the ironically arty bit was how sort of stripped of art his art was as a result of his disdain.
Clip art.
That is, “art” that’s intended to be meaningless until someone else uses it in a context that supplies a meaning.
THAT is a good one. Perfect.
Ai art
I would imagine it would be in something you already have some interest and skill in. Art entirely created by AI is not that great.
Well there you go. Art where the quality is accepted and expected to be low. That’s art that AI can do a good job at.
Art that is like fastfood.
Not the person you are replying to, but I think they meant that the AI needs a substantial amount of either reference (an art genre with lots of samples) or lots of your input if you’re feeding it to rework your concepts. They never said anything about quality.

This is a very nuanced question, because art isn’t always about skill.
I remember I was one of those guys who thought modern art was stupid. My family took me to MoMA and I remember I was looking at a painting of a red square. It was a large 2 foot by 2 foot red square. I remember saying “but anyone could do this” to my aunt. She replied:
But nobody else did.
Stopped in my tracks and it clicked. The fact that they had done it, and we were there talking about it and discussing it, that right there proved it was art.
So it’s not just quality. I’m sure AI could spot out 1000 red squares, and some would consider that low effort, but no one would ever discuss them.
But there’s already tons of generative art that gets discussed, lauded, shared, and remixed. Even when in negative connotations, it’s proving that generative art, warts and all, is a new form of art that is shaking things up, challenging preconceptions, and getting people angry - just like art should.
I mean, if a duct-taped banana can fetch millions
I’ve been seeing some comic book like work created with the help of AI. The writing was done by a human, but the images were created with AI.
If you poke around on sites like Nightcafe or AI image subreddits, there’s a lot of generic oil paintings, a lot of 1 or 2 subject matte paintings, and stuff that looks like the covers of bad fantasy novels.
