> [...] typing in "over 600 prompts"... That's a lot closer to commissioning an artist than it is producing art

At 600 prompts, I think it's at least worth considering whether that similarity is just a superficial matter of the medium you're interacting with the tool in (text) as opposed to actual deficiency of creative input to the work.

Moreover, your actions can be exactly the same as directing a human yet still qualify you as the author of the work when that human is replaced by a tool - as with, say, a voice-activated camera.

> [...] the "fixed in a tangible medium of expression" requirement. This is a pretty complicated concept and I'm not a lawyer and won't try to conjecture on whether or not results from machine learning models used today could clear this bar.

Whether it's fixed in a tangible medium isn't the contentious term for generated outputs. That just means the the work is, for instance, written on a piece of paper - as opposed to being only a general idea in your head. It's well-established that the medium of digital images counts for this and, even if not, Allen's work had been printed out.
