I feel like you are communicating a really reductive view of art and artists as just creators of products and ignoring the fact that art is expression, movement, social response, and an almost uniquely human endeavor.Typing a prompt into AI is nowhere near what artists do. And I don't just mean professional artists, I mean a kid with a crayon, a bored office worker doodling in their notebook, an art student in college, a tourist taking pictures of the beach. They are expressing themselves, exploring their relationship to the world around them, and creating something that literally no one else would create. That's art.Typing something into an AI prompt is skipping all the process part of art, all the parts of us that help us question and understand our place in the universe, and go straight to the product. It's a facsimile of art, and it is not an artistic process.I feel like you name dropped Jackson Pollock because splats of paint on a canvas seem easy to create? But that's ignoring that Pollock understood color theory, the chemistry of paint, and was exploring abstract art as a rejection of certain political movements. In other words, whatever the product, the process of Pollock creating his work is what gives it value. You could create a million prompts to ask AI to create a Jackson Pollock painting and yet it would not have the same cultural value as an artist (professional or amateur) creating art.</blockquote>
