Art is the conscious use of imagination to create something with the intention of it to be appreciated, experienced, and/or evoke an emotion in the observer. It requires one or two way communication between the creator and the person experiencing it.
AI generated images aren’t art because there is no conscious creator who intends to create an experience for the viewer. If a future AI is conscious and self aware enough to have a will of its own, and will use it’s own creativity to create something to be experienced or appreciated by the viewer, we would have AI art, but until then these aren’t art.
Also, the banana taped to a wall or a fruit in a cage is art, though it doesn’t mean it’s good or not. Art that sucks is still art.
I can go to an online artist and commission a piece of art, but it doesn’t make me the creator, and similarly, if I prompt an AI to generate the image, it doesn’t make me the creator of the image.
You misunderstood me, of course digital art is art when created by an artist, but if I pay an artist to make something I want, it doesn’t make me the creator.
If I prompt an AI, it doesn’t make me the creator either.
I have a thought experiment for you and anyone else who might read this. If I spent months teachings dogs or monkeys to recognize art and replicate it to the best of their abilities, would what they created be art?

Is the prompt used not that then?
Seems the process of creating the correct prompt fits your definition.
So the ai is more like the sculpting tools or paint right?

Digital art is a thing. Just because something takes text input and not a mouse doesn’t change the fact you are using a tool to create art.

We’ll have to agree to disagree because I think prompt crafting is a skill itself.
