Is it art? Perhaps not in most cases, but some of it will be.</blockquote> <p>My definition of art is &ldquo;craft + courage.&rdquo; I think it&rsquo;s pretty clear that typing a prompt into a text box to make art isn&rsquo;t an act of courage. So for now I&rsquo;ll say that generating images using AI &ndash; especially in honing the prompts &ndash; is <em>craft</em> but not art.</p>
