Ask HN: Do you consider “AI art” to be real art?

After the release of DALL-E 2, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and other text-to-image AI systems, there's been a flood of AI-generated artwork, with one piece even winning a competition[1].

HN readers, do you consider the images generated by these AI models to be art? Is it really ethical that they were trained on other artists' work?
