> Under your logic someone playing a CD is a musician.

No. That isn't my logic at all.

> Just pasting a rehashed joke as a genAI video prompt is not much of a creative process.

That isn't what is happening. What people are doing is taking people from different online streaming shows, making new content based on jokes made on those show and turning them into music videos, which are usually a cover of a well known song.

People have been doing this online without AI for quite a while. Usually this was with various music software. All AI does, it make this process easier.

Any time something is made easier and you get more of it, it becomes worth less.

There might be a claim that there is still some human creativity involved, maybe. But it's sort of like amateurs at an open mic night telling memorized jokes that they didn't write compared to a comedian who has spent thousands of hours perfecting stories, jokes, punch lines, timing, and phrasing.

That is only the case with commodities. Not creative works and/or entertainment.

Often these amateurs are often funnier than the professionals. However that of course is subjective.
