For art to be art you need space to express yourself through individual choices:
play an original song on a real instrument, and you have the entire artistic spectrum to yourself
if you make the music for it out of individual pieces, you narrow that range. The sounds are not yours, only their composition and words
when you record a cover of a rap song over some elses beat, you further narrow it down to your performance only. Its still artistic expression, but to a much less degree than an original song
In a prompt generated image, the image itself is not your expression. The prompt is, but comparing the amount of choices you need to make with a painting over a prompt, its just so… less art?
