Using AI to make art is sort of like being an interior designer: you pick and choose all the materials as a form of decoration/redecoration. It doesn't really require any skill of your own other than your "eye". (It's a form of phoning in the plans: someone else is doing the work or the fabrication. If you have an idea for a sculpture that's 20 ft high you're not going to be doing that yourself; you'll hire somebody to do it).
Making art has always been something anybody can do. Now it's the idea that democracy facilitates that as a matter of right and/or privilege. But interior decorating is typically something that requires wealth and privilege and isn't something anyone can do. But AI creates that illusion--as does the internet. Designing your website in 1999 is not unlike creating art with AI and posting it on social media, albeit disabused from writing the HTML. (What if you actually had to code art and would take skill?)
