Humans can look at landscape, people, animals or even some random bullshit, add a dash of creativity and imagination to transform that into something beautiful. Or they can skip the first part and just draw something from their imagination, like I can draw a crazy foam monster while having never seen one.
On the other hand you can feed an AI millions of hours of public cctv footage and you will never get anything other than variations of cctv footage. AI don't have creativity and can't create art out of landscape, animals, people etc.
Actually monsters don't exist in real life but OK, here's a challage for you: Train an AI on images of foam and see if it can come up with an drawing of a foam monster.
I can tell you what you are going to get though: pictures of foam. Not drawings, not art. The human brain doesn't just remix existing input, creativity is a thing.
Also blind painters are absolutely a thing that exists.
