I'd say these images have high artistic value. In the coming years it is very likely that "real art" will be confined to snobs and most people will be able to buy non series produced high quality automatically generated art.
Maybe there's a brief moment of "I'm impressed with how much work you put into this" but for that to happen, you kind of have to see the work being done.
I think that's why impressionism has such staying power, impressionists realized that your brain doesn't need photorealism. They were panned by their contemporaries who were focused on photorealism, but time has proven they were onto something.
Even now the impressionist-style neural nets don't get it right.
Or be knowledgeable enough to estimate the effort and skill required. Ironically, things I took for granted when I was young have impressed me more and more over the years. Probably because I've either tried to do them myself or learned about their backgrounds.
So I'm not surprised artists and at enthusiasts would value realism more than most people. Just like how speed metal is probably more popular among guitarists. The technique becomes a source of value rather than just an implementation detail.
