This sounds like the absolutely worst application of machine generated art, to be fair. Of course it's soulless, it's just people sharing their low-effort picture memes.

I use machine art to illustrate my own notes and things from time to time, and while it's just notes to self, I find some of the pictures actually trigger some emotional response because I know what they mean to me and the story I'm trying to tell. That's all any art is, it really doesn't matter how you landed on it. Trying to share pictures without a story is pointless, but once the picture has a story the method of generation is pretty moot.
