ROFL! Everyone is so quick to make knee-jerk bad faith rebuttals to such a simple argument:
The writers are creating the art. Not a computer. If you ouch in a sentence and tell AI to write a novel based on said sentence, you’re NOT a writer.
So if the writers you know are not relying on a computer for subject matter/and actual work done- they’ve nothing to worry about. They’re writers.
Maybe consult with an AI and see if it can create a better argument for you.

Ha! That’s fair, I really wasn’t taking you seriously. You’re right that simply punching a sentence into a computer isn’t art. In the same way that a writer curates the words they use and refines their writing over time, a chat prompt is similarly refined over time, and real-world skill and experience with photography allows the prompter to create an extremely refined prompt very quickly.
Case in point: newsweek.com/ai-photography-contest-sony-art-1796…
Does this photographer, crafting a prompt based on his decades of photography experience, not do exactly what you are saying isn’t art? And in so doing creates art so powerful it wins competitions against photographs taken of and by real humans?

AI does not make art. Period. End of argument. This is my opinion, and I’m keeping it.
