No, there is nothing artistic about tools that help you modify or organize your prompts aka commissions for all the reasons I already stated above.

Let’s play a game. I’ll pick an artist who hates AI and you reply with an artist that loves AI. Let’s see who runs out first.

Modify or organize your prompts? lol - I don't think you have any familiarity with the tooling landscape in AI media gen.

I'll do you one better - I'll cite someone who has changed their mind.

I think I finally see what we’re clashing on. Where do you draw the line between “this is a tool assisting me in creating my art” and “here is my AI film I stitched together with 10 Sora prompts”?

The songwriter for K-Pop Demon Hunter’s Soda Pop used AI to help them write the lyrics - fine. The hacks on X calling themselves incredible artists because they can prompt Dall-E - slop.

Yes - If you're willing to allow that AI might be a tool in the artistic process if it is used in conjunction with intent and effort, then we are at a reasonable position -- That stating "all AI is slop" is as inarticulate and insufficient as the claim of "look at what I made, I'm an artist!" coming from someone who typed in a four word prompt.

The majority of people using AI believe that production itself is art. They produce slop because they have no craft, no taste, and no innate talent.

Artists recognize that art requires the development of craft and taste - and there are many that see AI as a tool that can be used in that process.
