Yeah, art by definition requires intent. The slop hoses have no intent, just a pattern matching algorithm that matches a distribution of random noise to what the model has been trained that the words in the input prompt should look like.
Aleatory art, going back to the Dadaists and John Cage, deliberately subverts intent. You can have art with high levels of randomness in its process as well, not just at the conceptual stage, like Jackson Pollock's work. So no.
The problem with the AI generated art I've seen is that it's lowest-common-denominator crap.
