Sure, sure.  My point is that a poet is "an artist", a musician is "an artist", and so is a writer.  Just as adapting a comic book to a cartoon or live action may require voice artists and musicians to fully realize it, a painter may need inspirational input or even a fully fleshed out description, sometimes with detailed backstories, etc, in order to bring about their art, as well...

 

He may need a description as an instruction, though lyrics are usually written to the tune and not the other way around, but "voice artist" and so on just means a professional of a certain kind. There is not necessarily any talent involved, only a craft. And what does any of this have to do with "A. I."?

Because AI is a tool, just as a paintbrush or photoshop are tools.  I'll grant that telling an AI to "create a superhero", then just going with whatever it generates isn't that impressive on the person's part, but to discount anything created using AI as "not art", IMHO, is to admit that anything created using tools that you couldn't otherwise create with your own hands, isn't art, either, (or, at the very least, that anything using any digital tools that in any way automate any part of the creative process also isn't art)...
