Go to a museum. Once you get close enough to a painting to see pencil lines the artist used to do the layout, your POV will shift.
It makes you see the hand of the artist, sure, but also makes you realize that what you're looking at is a piece of history as much as it is a piece of art. AI can't do that.
Side-benefit, it's cool to see some famous paintings in person because of how much bigger/smaller they are than you may have thought. I've seen both. Dali's The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory is only 10"x13" - I had a poster of it on my wall that was bigger than that.
On the other end, I had a poster of Alex Grey's Gaia on the wall too. I knew it would have to be big, but it's HUGE: 144"x96"
It took up the whole wall of his gallery but another cool thing about seeing it in person is that I could tell the sun and the moon were in the opposite position as they are in the final piece; because of how huge it is, I had a perfect angle to see the light hit that part of the canvas and it was plain to see that the spots were painted over.
At that point it's an experience, not just an image. AI can't do that either.
