Outsider art can be explained using words. It's certainly strange art, but not necessarily something that's "unpromptable".

AI companies mostly push back because dealing with copyright is very expensive, not because it would necessarily take a very long time. Google and Microsoft likely already have a sizeable library of copyright-free art they could use, but using everything is just more efficient and much, much cheaper.
