    It doesn’t matter who made the camera, in the same way it doesn’t matter who made an artist’s paintbrush and canvas.

    It is the human’s direct involvement in choosing what to take a photograph of, and in taking that photo that determines it as art, even if it turns out to be shitty art.

    The problem with AI is that no matter how good your prompting is, ultimately you’re not the one doing the painting, the AI is.

    The camera is a tool you directly control, the AI is an independent entity acting on your instruction. They’re not the same, and that distinction is fundemental to this arguememt.
