Well then you are in good luck. The computers didn’t just spontaneously started creating these images. There is a person who programmed them, debuged (or bugged!) and tweeked the code until it was to their liking and then selected the best results. That’s right, here a computer holds the pen (sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively) but it is absolutely a fellow human being who put their thoughts and imagination into the process.

You don’t have to be. But maybe don’t trivialize other people’s work either.
Just as a clarifying question: When you say that you refuse to call it "art" are you talking about the specific 3 pieces used to illustrate the article or the whole concept of an artist using a computer as a tool to create art?
