Depends entirely on your definition of art.

To me, art is "playing with your senses". The way a painting plays with your vision. Music plays with your hearing. Food plays with your taste. ...

And in that sense, a generated image is art. Especially if it evokes emotions like hate for being AI generated.

Regardless of definition, art requires an intention. You cannot find art in the wild, it has to be created.

There's intention in a prompt. Death of the Author makes the case for valuing interpretation over intention anyway.
