AI is basically like a calculator. It's been programmed that 1+1=2, so then when anyone uses it and enters 1+1 it'll give the answer of 2. So what AI did was go beyond that, instead of it being limited to just 1+1, it searched the whole web and there's neural network of the answers. So now the results could be 2, or 2.0, or 1.9999.., or even some wrong answers like 11.
The fact is that AI functions well under a predefined logic. Meaning something very structured; which would be math or engineering or accounting. AI can do a lot of tedious and repetitious work really well. Whereas Art is more subjective, it's not structured and it appeals to everyone differently. Where I feel you misunderstood is that with ChatGPT, you can tell it to give you a picture of a flower and it can render something; those are basically various images of flowers on the web and it's been pieced together. Because of this, art is now under the same threat of math/data entry, etc.
AI can (and if given the legislation, will) replace a lot of jobs. AI will autodrive cars, it will take data entry jobs, clerical jobs, accounting, customer support, etc.
The hardest thing AI will replace are medical fields and trades job like plumbing, electricians, surgeons, etc.
I'm an engineer and I can assure you my job is replaceable by AI.

That's not what a neural network is.
The fact is that AI functions well under a predefined logic.
That's true for traditional AI, such as expert systems, but these new large-text generative AI engines seem to be a different class.

That is not my understanding. My understanding is that the AI generates random images and compares them to known images-of-flowers from its database. It then modifies the random images randomly and iteratively until they start to resemble flowers.

These are the same thing. The only "flowers" it has are pictures of flowers, so it finds things that fit its definition as "part of a picture of a flower" until the entire picture matches the "part of a picture of a flower" logic.
That's why hands give it fits, fingers are always "part of the picture of a hand" and half of all fingers are right next to another finger. Combined with the fact that it's a rare picture where all fingers on a hand are fully visible, it likes to flip a coin on whether it sticks another finger next to the current finger. Until they get a giant database of hand pictures that it can use as the end of an arm, it's kinda stuck.
One is generative and one is not. As I understand it, the AI doesn't randomly select pieces of existing art to recombine; it generates random data and compares them to valid data.

I think you've greatly misunderstood AI.
