I think the divide is that artists have worked at developing a skill to express themselves (art) while AI artists think they have achieved the same thing by turning a prompt into an image. The former is an act of expression, the latter is choosing something you like out of a magazine. Very different and one is art and the other is not. If you really want to say AI is art, maybe, but the person prompting it is definitely not the artist...maybe the curator. |

I don't think that artist is the right word, but gallery owner or curator aren't quite right either. People are pumping out mountainloads of hot garbage with these things, but others are taking time to think about things like image composition, color and light rendering, etc. that are considered artistic skills. And that's not getting into the people that were already artists and have just added this to part of their workflow.
I do think overall the needle is closer to the curator side of the spectrum, but it's not all the way there, and I don't think it's fair to say that there is no expression in the process, at least for some.
