How about people who need a camera to create their art? Are they less of an artist than a painter?

I'm sick and tried of people re-hashing a discussion that has been settled for almost two centuries. Yes, photography can be art. There's art in how you use the tool. Not all people making photographs are artists or are even out to create art, and then it isn't art, and that's also fine. Why are people having such an issue applying the same to AI as a tool, saying not "Your shit sucks because it's AI" but "Your shit sucks because you're a hack".

Yeah. All I want is 1 million big titted dragons. It's an art piece. I thought about doing some huge multi-year collaborative and inclusive enterprise where every piece had at least one person's attention, then thought 'fuck it, couple of hours with midjourney. Same thing really'.

I require a computer to create art. I suck at everything art related. Can't draw, can't paint, can't play a musical instrument. If I have an image in my head, the best way to create it, for me, is to tell an AI what I want and then look through the results for what is closest to the image I had in my mind.

You are less of an artist than the person comissioning an artist.
