Yes, images generated by artificial intelligence can be considered art. This is a topic with diverse opinions, largely dependent on how one defines art.
Art is often defined as a means of expressing human creative skill and imagination in a form that can be appreciated for its beauty or emotional power. It's subjective, meaning what one person considers art, another might not. Traditional art usually involves direct human creation, but it doesn't have to be the case for something to be considered art.
AI-generated images, like those produced by GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), can exhibit a high degree of creativity, novelty, and even aesthetic beauty, aligning them with many people's definition of art.
