Why AI art is so controversial

It's theft, but more importantly, if we're going to automate anything it should be the stuff no one wants to do. Those stupid AIs should be trained to pick up litter and sort trash, not "make art". So much of human life is about creating. If we delegate that, what remains of us? The vision that is being sold to us with this is that of an efficient, consumed-by-work, robotic society. All work and no play.
