Futurology

But there's still a human behind the wheel. AI hasn't gone rogue and is creating stuff 100% autonomously. Someone still has to give it prompts and make various tweaks to get it to generate the image they want. There is still human intentions and choices being made.

That's what I mean by definitions that try to exclude AI art fall flat, because AI is a tool. Nothing more. We don't dismiss digital artists for not using ink or paint. We don't say people who create impressive 3D printed works aren't being creative because they aren't using a hammer and chisel. People have access to digital instruments and can create whole songs by mixing them from their phone, we don't claim it's not music.

AI is a tool. An actual human person prompts it and manipulates it to create a work. It's infinitely faster than previous methods of creating art, and takes a hell of a lot less training and experience, but it's still art. For better or worse, it's still humans sharing their intentions, thoughts, and emotions with the world.
