**What is art?** It is the innate human desire toward a goal, the goal being to reify a vision of that which only exists in your own mind, and it is the process of training your own mind and body to reify that vision through deliberate practice of technique, and it is the process of self-criticism as you look back on each attempt at realizing your vision and making a conscious effort to refine your technique and your practice so that your next attempt comes closer to realizing your vision. What you actually produce during this process is a side-effect, an artifact, of the artistic process, though we often speak of these artifacts as though it were the "art" itself.

So the requisites are (1) human desire, (2) a goal, (3) a vision in your imagination, (4) practice of technique, (5) refinement of technique.

Notice that so-called AI "art" meets precisely none of those requirements.
