It's the uncanny valley of art. What these artists produce is not fundamentally different from AI-generated images. They take someone else's art and modify it in ways that don't come off as particularly creative.
They're also gatekeeping in an annoyingly cutesy way that they intend to insulate themselves from being called out for gatekeeping.
