I do see your point on this, though not sure if you can use that differentiation between human inspiration and what a computer is doing, we take a mental image and interpretation could be seen as metadata. Just because the mechanics are different doesn't mean its not similar in process. I guess you could say the emotion is not there, but is that enough to differentiate ? Still a good point though , adds more questions to the mix

I wanted to say that the human still commands the genertor to make a form of art using prompt. But then I've got a shivering feeling that someone might connect generator (of prompts) to another generator to another... and then close the loop.

Anyway, I've always said (and keep saying) that art is what (visibly) distinguishes humans from animals. And machines.
