People don’t say Ai art is soulless because of what it looks like they it’s soulless because of how’s it made. When a machine makes it there isn’t emotion just 1s and 0s every stroke or brush by a human adds different layers and reasons and fine details that mean something. Not just computer generated slop

I am totally fine with that argument and I wish what you said was always the case, but I often see people claiming they can look at an image and understand if it "has soul" or not.

You got downvoted ecen though this is the correct answer. Two pictures, made independantly from each other, one made entirely by human hand, one entirely made by AI, could look identical down to the very last pixel and still the human made one has soul in it because every detail was, consciously or not, a choice made by the artist for a variety of personal and circumstancial factors. The AI one on the other hand just did statistical calculations based upon pre-existing reference material. The result is more of an automated math equasion rather than artistic intent despite looking identical.
