AI can only give you a synthesis of exactly what you feed it.

So do humans. What you call "life experience" is just training data. Nothing forces you to train AI on all the stuff out there, you are free to train it on a specific subset of data. You are even free to plug a webcam into a robot and train it on whatever that sees in its lifetime.

Whenever you see something original done by humans, that's not because we have the magical capability to be original, but because you don't know what the work in question was based on. And of course there are seven billion of us, while we only have a handful of AI models, so of course you'll get a bit more variety out of humans so far.

Either way, good image generation have only been available to the public for about a year. Give it some time. Humans aren't much good at producing art after a year either.

We need an environment that is actively and intensely hostile to AI tools and those that promote them.

Better start by destroying your computer so those humans can have their job back.

People calling themselves “prompt engineers”

Those people will be obsolete in a couple of months, if they aren't already. Since guess what, AI is pretty good at writing prompts itself.
