It is incredibly difficult and even among art made by people there are some who would say it isn't art. Honestly I feel like art is only art when the audience can understand how it was made at least roughly. Personally I think that art can be more than nonsensical that it can have purpose like a smart phone can be art. People will disassemble and hang smartphones or electronics because they see beauty in collection of components.
I don't know enough to say what is or isn't art only that I have an opinion of what I see as art. I don't think that the OP posted art not because a machine made it but because it looks wrong to me. I'm sure there are some who might see it as art and I think we're allowed to disagree. But here we are with cameras on our person that most of humanity would have killed for and we use it to take shitty selfies of ourselves and the food we're eating. The tool can not make art 99.99% of the time but still be capable of making art.
