Most of the purpose of pixel art is that it's hand crafted and every pixel matters. Not much point to pixel art if you drop that aspect.

I've been pretty happy with the little bits of AI pixel art I've generated. They bring my joy. So there's a point to it for me

This is 100% true for artists. But I am not an artist, and I like pixel art stylistically. So when I make sites or games, I need to either: use my bad art, hire someone on fiverr, or use AI.

Sorry, the point? isn’t the point of art pretty much what a person wants it to be?
