Hello. I’m guessing you want to talk reason, so let me explain this carefully.
If you prompt an AI/LLC model to make images, and keep revising prompts until you like the result. You’re acting like a commissioner, not the artist.
If you’re using Photoshop’s AI-assisted tools, you generate parts of the image section by section with localized prompts and piece them together into what you like, through your own design, then you could barely be considered a collage artist.
At best, if you keep present that whole prompt-and-output journey, the art of prompting, as your signature approach, maybe months or years, then I can tell you’re doing some kind of performance art, which maybe make you an artist!
The essence of artistry lies in the process: thought, labor, and meaning visible in every mark. You may tell you're a user, or a commissioner. But a finished image alone doesn’t make an artist. I'd rather call the engineers who build AI/LLC artists. They're doing insane job that normal ppl could never achieve.
The evolving of AI/LLC is unstoppable, I get it, maybe one day you’ll redefine ‘artist,’ so the next generation won’t even know people like us from the old days. But until then, at least I can keep saying so.
