But at the same time, we've had people commissioning art for centuries and we still don't consider the commissioner to be an artist.

Using AI as part of your workflow? Possibly art. Using it as your entire workflow? Slop, not art.

I think that is generally fair. My thought is if you are using AI like a metaphorical slot machine to generate things whole cloth...there is a very good chance what you are creating will be seen as slop by most. I think I would carve an exception here for those that are incredibly elaborate and detailed with their prompting to the point that the AI is essentially deterministic.

It really all comes down to the effort and intent of the artist. I use AI tools in the creation of my art, but it would never occur to me to pass off something entirely generated as "my art". The AI tool is just another brush, instrument, or typeface in an assortment of tools I reach for when creating. The AI by itself has no intent. You need a human for that (at least currently). without the human? Yeah, slop like the videos in the OP.
