To put it simply. I do use AI and I do prompt, but I don't consider any of it art.
About Prompting, i think that's more like learning to speak a couple of words in Chinese to order some fancy food in a foreign restaurant. You (may) get a more complex and peculiar food of many others, but that doesn't make you a cook.
Just people too lazy to learn a skill who want to flip the narrative.
A bit like when you copy/paste a command grabbed online in a linux terminal and then feel like "a programmer" when the system do the thing it was built to.
