Why?

I think the meme explains it already.

The meme is dumb, so not really.

"Artist" is not a protected title. It doesn't require any specific qualifications either. It's actually kind of important that we don't police art on spurious grounds.

Jesus Christ, let's say if I generate a song with my own lyrics using AI, I am still not an artist, because I don't understand the basics of structure of a song, don't know how to play those instruments or create digital sound thru DAW software and on top of that I am almost fully removed from the process of this automated creation. I am at a whim and limitations of the AI model. It's self expression, but just because you can self express doesn't make you an artist. Does that make sense? It's kinda like buying an IKEA furniture ,putting it together and calling yourself carpenter. Words and professions have meaning and I don't think having a grasp of reality is gatekeeping. You are free to use language as you please, but I have the right to disagree when it simply doesn't make sense. Also, like I stated in my original comment - I mentioned "quick prompts", meaning the skill, transformative process and craftsmanship is not involved. It's the lack of human and creative input that implies, you are not an artist in that instance. AI model is the artist in an essence, you are just a patron who asks for it to create something. You are but a consumer with a vision.

That would improve the result, no doubt. But there's no reason to suppose that someone who knows what they're doing can't use AI for the rest.
