> knowing it was AI irrespective of anything else was enough to think it was bad.

That's prejudice.

The definition of prejudice requires the judgment to be unfair.

Do you think it’s unfair for people to dislike AI generated art based on their principles?

Unfair in this context is judging the art without even looking at it.

You don’t think it’s fair to factor how art was created into your judgment?

Factor? That's not what was described: "knowing it was AI irrespective of anything else."

And no - I don't think it's fair to call the art bad when in fact what you mean is you don't like the way it was made. Saying "I don't like AI art" is not the same as "This piece is shit", which is how it is almost always framed.

Which is extremely socially acceptable currently and I don’t see that changing anytime soon

HEH. Well... so long as you agree it's prejudice... that's a good start.

Biased evaluation is the default human behavior so it’s not saying as much as you think it is

All I'm saying is that it's prejudice. And it is.

As GP perhaps implied, "prejudice" is "biased evaluation" with a negative tone — if you are looking to be fully objective, a different term might be better.
