One could argue that the viewer also has a role in acknowledging something as art, which would mean that intention is not totally mandatory in the definition.
A viewer has no role in determining if it’s art. Art is solely determined by an artist intending to make art.
A viewer decides if they like it, decides if they appreciate it and decides what messages they take from it… But they don’t decide if it’s art. Art is what an artist makes.
I think a viewer can decide something is art unintentionally by evaluating it as art. If you need an artist to intend, then I guess the viewer is that artist because they are the one who made it art.
It’s art because it’s intentional.
The point is to make you think it’s bullshit. That was the artist’s intent.
AI has no intent. The person prompting it might… But usually it’s not intent so much as “I tried until this was pretty”
Which is still art - just not noteworthy.

by your logic I declare everything I create with stable diffusion to be art :)
Everything you create? When I win the jackpot on a slot machine I didn’t create the money

People can decide non-artistic things are aesthetically pleasing and apply the label of art to them but without a creator you can’t have art.
But if it’s a good a human designed - that designer had artistic intentions.
