If you acknowledge that producing a fake image of an imagined idea is art, why is the neural net that produced this picture not an artist? What is your definition other than a thing that produces art?
How about comparing to the Campbell’s soup can. Is that not art? And yet it’s mass produced.
If your objection is to the quality, what specific aspect of this image vs the others in this thread, or in life, makes it low quality.
If typing a prompt into a plagiarism machine makes you an artist, why doesn’t paying a real human to make art for you also make you an artist?
If someone said they were the artist of something but it turns out they just paid someone else to do it, would you think they were a talentless jackass or an artist?
The plagiarism machine vomits out the visual equivalent of text prediction. It isn’t an artist any more than the text prediction on your phone is an author if you hit the next predicted word enough times, people are artists and authors. Image generation is at best a Xerox machine.

They weren’t calling themselves artists, they were saying the AI/model is the artist.
Your comparison is a strawman.
Art is made by artists, who are human, and your argument is the fallacy fallacy.
The artist is the neural network

Yeah well that’s just like, your opinion, man.
Yeah, it’s based on knowing the difference between a tool and a human being 👍
I know plenty of human beings who are tools
