A way better execution of your example would be people making design documents and the people building it.
Its a symbiosis, without one the other can’t work. Let’s say I sit down and make a full concept and prototype construction plan for a small tank model. That makes me a (hopefully) good CAD designer. If I than put this into a hypothetical fully automatic CNC machine, I can’t say I’m a good machinist. Replace Cad design with prompting and the fully automatic CNC machine with AI.
Shit goes in, shit comes out.
Oh yeah and also the fully auto CNC machine just has a bunch of Cad Files from people who have never consented to it being used and reused to assemble the cad file mostly relating to the prompt.
There are still people who don’t think digital artists are real artists because they use computer assistance. And there are ethically trained image gen models out there.
Fundamentally, someone is using a tool to get an inspiration from their head into the physical world. The tool can’t do anything without the user’s input, and the user can’t get the output they want without using the tool correctly (prompting). I don’t think the ease of the process should have a major impact on the legitimacy of it.
