I find it fascinating. But I draw a line when people start claiming it to be their own art. Yes there is some skill at generating interesting prompts etc... but if anything it is the art of the person (or people) who designed the AI to begin with. Then maybe all the people whose work was appropriated by the AI to produce the image. The person writing the prompts has made a contribution, but to suggest that they are the artist seems a bit nuts to me.
