I've been saying for a while that having AI make art for you is basically the same as a commission. When you commission a painting, you describe what you want, someone else paints it for you and gives it to you for money. Same sort of thing here, except shittier because no artist gets paid. But the same end result - you might own the end result, but you didn't create it.
100% I believe the exact same thing. If a person commisions a painting, but the painter is a computer, it doesn't transfer the title of "artist" onto the person who commisioned the painting.
They want credit for their "creative work" when really all they are is a middle manager with no actual employees.
How long do those middle-management chucklefucks think it'll be before CEO's realize that they can just ask the computer themselves?
