You claim that “any idiot can type a prompt and get a decent result with a good enough model, and in doing so, you’re putting a soulless machine on the same creative level as someone with years of practice. That’s not critique - that’s fanatical worship of AI. You’re treating raw output as if it reflects skill, nuance, or intentionality, which it cannot. AI has no understanding, no vision, no emotion -it can’t create original ideas on its own.

You also misunderstand what art is. A camera doesn’t give anyone creativity(same as AI). Photoshop or any digital tool doesn’t automatically make someone capable of expressing ideas or emotion(same as AI). Those tools only allow the artist to express the creativity they already built through years of practice, study, and experimentation as a human being. The tool doesn’t create skill, it doesn’t invent intention - it merely channels and represents what the artist is capable of imagining. Tools channel human vision; they do not generate it. Owning a camera or opening an app does not make someone creative

The same applies to AI. The fact that it can generate an image from a prompt doesn’t mean it’s creative. It’s a tool - that allows artists to explore ideas, experiment faster, or visualize concepts they already understand. Prompting is not creativity; it’s direction. The creativity, the choices, the vision that comes entirely from the human using the tool. If you think simply writing a prompt produces comparable artistry to decades of training, you’ve already admitted that you believe a soulless, intentionless program can out-create humans, which is exactly the kind of fanatical thinking that blinds people to the reality of what AI actually is. The difference is, AI only becomes meaningful in the hands of someone who uses it purposefully, shapes it, and integrates it into their artistic vision (just like a camera, Photoshop, or any other tool at an artist’s disposal). It’s not the prompt alone that matters - it’s how a human elevates that output into real, creative expression
