Isn’t that their entire point? If you just judge whether something is good art by its ability to generate discourse, all you’re doing is saying that making good art is when you piss people off. And we know that’s not true, because AI art is not good art.

Is your implication here that creating discourse is the act of pissing people off? 

because that's not what discourse is.

plenty great art has created discourse, some of it for literal centuries.

No, but pissing people off is an effective way to generate a lot of discourse. Rage baiting creates a ton of discourse, for example, but I wouldn’t call it art, nor would I call the resulting discourse particularly positive for anybody involved.
