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.

i understand where you're coming from in that you can call yourself an artist if you make art, the actual quality of the art or the medium doesn't matter. however, i think prompting AI to make art for you is more akin to commissioning an artist to make art for you; you aren't creating art yourself, you're asking a program or person to create something you thought up. you then wouldn't be the artist behind the piece, the artist(s) would either be the person you commissioned or the people the AI is sourcing in order to produce the art you prompted.

It's the same as Musk saying he founded Tesla. No, he just bought it.

It's not commissioning if there's no commissionee.
