Could it just be AI itself and how bad it sucks instead of "AI stigma"?
I think the way you phrased it misses the point. It simply does not matter whether AI "art" is good or bad, in a technical sense.
Until AI is an actual person, and can make art reflecting its subjective experience (which would no doubt be very interesting) ; AI "art" is just nothing.
There is no meaning, no story behind it, no other mind to connect with. It was made by a philosophical zombie, a thing that possesses enough appearance of consciousness to seem aware, but no actual subjectivity.
AI "art" could be technically irreproachable, ie "good" and it would still be equivalent to nothing. Even a blank canvas made by a human means worlds more than our current AI could ever make.
And I personally don't believe AI will ever be a person. But on that, sensible minds may differ.
Yep. I've seen indie game devs try to push AI art into their products and it never looks good. There is no cohesive design. It looks like badly done collage work with images in different resolutions sometimes. And if they're that lazy, it usually shows in more ways.
