You clearly don’t understand how basic language works. Nouns like ‘cook,’ ‘driver,’ ‘cyclist,’ or ‘writer’ describe the action being done, not the social status of the person doing it. If someone cooks, they’re a cook. If someone writes, they’re a writer. The idea that the tool or context invalidates the label is just nonsense. You’re confusing profession with practice, and it’s telling how hard you cling to that error just to deny others the right to call what they do art. Whether you like it or not, making visual works through AI is a creative process, one that involves vision, iteration, intent, and aesthetic judgment. If that doesn’t fit your narrow, outdated definition of 'artist,' then the issue lies with your understanding, not mine. And pretending AI prompting is the same as commissioning someone is either dishonest or just ignorant, and in your case, probably both.
