I think that the problem with this sort of art is not that it doesn't require much effort to create, but that it's overdone.
If we were living in a time when all artists were classically trained and following set non-abstract schools of art, and something did something like this, the impact would be explosive. It would be highly original and controversial.
Today, many artists recognize that this is an easy way to make some money and overproduce the same kind of thing over and over. Hence, there's lots of what I would consider "bad art" out there. But if some people like it I won't hold it against them. And I still consider this "art."
