People who commission art don't call themselves the artist. That's the big difference. If people found out you commissioned the painting that you later told everyone at the party that you painted yourself, and that it is practically your work of art, because you gave the precise description of what you wanted to the painter, and thus you're an artist. Then you would be the laughing stock and the butt of many jokes and japes for decades. Because that's ridiculous.

It's not the difference you think it is. Lots of people who use AI art generators don't call themselves artists either. I certainly don't, because I don't care whether I'm called an artist. I just want the art.

I think you may be generalizing a stereotype.

Then you arent getting art. Your collecting pretty computer generated images

That's fine.

But your arent getting art. It's just not. And yes. Your a stereotype.
