It takes a depressing lack of imagination to not see how AI can be used as a tool for artistry. You do realize it’s possible to edit, collage, cut up and remix AI generated images just like images from any other source, right?
Just like how photographers can create artwork through careful composition of the subject, framing the shot, adjusting the lens or settings on the camera to affect how the light ultimately translates to the sensor/film then how they develop the film/image file and how they ultimately present the final piece are all critical components in photographic artwork conoared to how many might simply point our phone at something and click the button then either trash it or keep whatever image the phone spits out.
An AI artist can start with a carefully selected source, be that a prompt or a drawing or even a completed artwork (akin to the composition of the subject) bring it into the AI software where the selection of weights model (akin to the choice of camera) any transformers they apply to the weights model, the specific prompt, perimeters set in the software (akin to the configuration of the camera and selection of lens) any additional steps that it passes through the AI software such as additional transformers or models, automated adjustments or even manual adjustments and edits (akin to the intial pass in Lightroom or the choice of chemicals and technique in developing film) then any additional work they do in traditional editing software or in print (this step is basically the same as in photography) and finally how the work is presented (this step is also the same)
So in short, your arguments against using AI to create art would also make it impossible to use photography to create art. Photography is well established to be an art form, and just like how we’re currently seeing pushback from artists of how AI cheapens art and requires no effort to create images, when cameras were first brought to market the exact same arguments were made. And when cameras first became commercially available, people didn’t yet know what was possible with photographic art, but while a lot of photographers were pointing cameras at things to see what stuck, a few pioneering artists were also exploring what they could do with this new medium. This is the stage we’re at. Lots of people are making forgettable images with the new medium but some people are using it to create brand new art in new styles and ways from what the world has seen before.
It takes a psychotically overactive imagination to convince yourself that feeding prompts into an AI makes you anything close to an artist, seek professional help
You’re clearly not interested in a serious discussion. I literally described in depth how you can use AI as a tool in an art project. I linked sources explaining similar processes. You’re either completely missing the forest for the trees or arguing in bad faith (and the ad hominim attack certainly indicates it’s the latter point)
Go troll elsewhere my good person if you don’t intend to find something more productive than trolling. Might I suggest walking and biking? Model railroading? Photography? All are brilliant hobbies with a ton to offer to a newcomer and don’t make the world a worse place like your current choice of trolling

There is no serious discussion to be had with anyone delusional enough to believe what you believe, I am here to amuse myself at your expense
