If you're working really hard to prompt the AI into generating a piece of compelling art, I'd argue that you're the artist and are using it as a tool. The key is that you're putting in effort and it's driven by an artist's intent. The artist is not being replaced.

This is more like photography. A camera is just a dumb box that records images, but in the hands of an artist it can be used as a tool to make art.

People were really afraid cameras would replace artists too, but they didn't. They replaced portraiture which was when painters would try to render photorealistic portraits of people and things, but they didn't replace painting as art and in fact opened new avenues to art.
