I mean, context changing how we see art seems natural enough. Would anyone care about analyzing this painting[1] if wasn't created by Hitler? Would anyone care about this child's drawings[2] if it wasn't 800 years old? Would people care about a stained glass depiction of the Crucifixion of Jesus if it wasn't a central event in Christianity?

Personally, I think in a lot of cases, people want to feel some sort of emotional connection with the artist through their creation, which doesn't work if you know it's AI created.
