All the things you listed are tools … ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.
Computers are tools in exactly the same way. A person isn’t moving data from one memory location to another. That’s automated by the processor.
You could say the same about a table saw: a human isn’t separating sequences of molecules with their hands, it’s automated by a machine.
AI is not different from the above tools.
My argument isn’t “bad faith” just because you disagree with it; your lack of understanding is not sufficient to disprove the assertion. Come prepared, or don’t come.
digital artists aren’t real artists because they’re using a computer to create art
woodworkers aren’t real artists because they’re using a table saw and glue to create art
poets aren’t real artists because they’re using a dictionary and thesaurus to create art
chefs aren’t real artists because they’re using an immersion blender and gas range to create art
Your obviously bad faith argument excludes the distinction between tool and automaton.
All the things you listed are tools. They are objects that assist humans with performing a process.
“Generative” ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.
Hiring someone to draw a picture and then signing your name on it doesn’t make you an artist, and that’s exactly what every ai “”“artist”“” is doing.

art is a process, not a product.
Creating a piece of art using AI is a process.
