Well, no. At least, for me this cheap "feel good" stuff never really worked. It means something different if you made it different in some way. Could be a different technique, or different focus. If it's the same stuff that everybody else does it's worth less than nothing, and I can't see how me being the author changes that.
Your thoughts are understood, but in the creative universe, maybe AI-generated art is more of a popular genre rather than something synonymous with art. Instead, AI art is just another category that only competes with traditional art on the level of mimesis.

It means something different _to you_ because it represents the experience _you_ had in taking/making it.
