This needs to change : there is no AI art. Art is something humans do, and AI is something that does not exist.
There cannot be AI art.
“Art is whatever the artist chooses it to be.” And I’d also call art whatever the beholder chooses it to be. If Dog Art is something that exists, AI Art is something that exists.
Whether you think in the case of AI the artist is the LLM or the prompter, that’s irrelevant.
If you consider the prompter to be the artist then do you consider me to be an artist when I make a Google search and click on images? I still get an image I didn't make but I wouldn't say that makes me an artist.
And according to your quote the ai model couldn't be an artist simply because it can't consider anything to be an art, it just gives you the random noise that is the result of putting some text through its network. There are of course other reasons why the model shouldn't be considered an artist but this was the simplest I think.
Anyway, I'd say that ai art shouldn't be called art when there's no artist.
