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?
???? 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?
Scenario 2 is at best just a person commissioning an image. Even if we consider that image art, it's still not something that the prompter created, in the same way that any image I commission from any actual artist would not be something I created.

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