Would you consider AI images as art? Without “imagination” it cant be art, can it?
Apps like DALL-E regurgitate what they’ve scrapped/copied/stolen from others. Doesn’t mean it isn’t good or useful though. But where do you draw the line?

@MrGrumpy Human imagination can enter thru the prompt though. Once upon a time photography wasn't considered art, but now it is. Even though the only human imagination is deciding where and when to click the shutter.
@ElwoodBlues I understand. Prompt engineering to create art would be like typing text in google and calling the results your research. Kinda. I think you catch my drift.
@MrGrumpy I kinda catch your drift. But if you google for something and don't get a match, google says
Your search did not match any documents
But if my prompt asks for a 3 part chimera combining obscure but existing animals then I'll get a picture, even if nobody's asked for that oddball chimera before. Not all photos are "art" by any means, and not all prompts generate something unique or imaginative. But some prompts might.
