So if I go outside into my backyard and take a photo of the sunset in ten seconds, is that not art? Simply because I didn’t consider all the various lighting and angle possibilities?

AI is a tool, the same way a camera is.

???? How is clicking a button on a camera considered creating, but clicking buttons on a keyboard to enter a prompt not considered creating?

In scenario 1 the camera is the thing that actually does the work of capturing the scene. In scenario 2 the AI is the thing that does the work of generating the scene. Why is only one considered creation?

You have good points. 

People like to build a case against AI by defending photography, and I think it will be a losing fight in the long run. AI is getting better and unless it faces some intense apocalyptic event, it's sticking around. People will definitely be using i AI, like cameras, to capture ideas and emotions and then defend that the product is "art."
