We could agree, that photgraphers are artists too.
They didn't create their motives. They find them, they arrange them they set the lights on them.Poser, DAZ or any other content based 3d environment just works like looking through a photographer's lense.
Generative AI is different.

But when you blend Poser and AI together there still is a 3D environment to start out with. In case of the image I posted: I posed the figure, constructed the dress from 6 different clothing props including a dynamic cape I draped in the cloth room (now missing in Poser 14) to form the flowing train of the dress, added the bows, gave the skirt texture, created her expression,  positioned her arms on the dress, choose a camera angle and frame. All that falls into your definition of art and something I can take credit for. True?

Then I made a rough render, build an AI workflow, wrote a prompt, fine-tuned that prompt over and over again to get the result I was looking for, and made the final image using elements of 2 AI renders and doing touch ups and last lighting corrections using a photo editor.

And that AI phase suddenly degrades all the earlier work to just hitting an 'art button'?

I do agree there are many shades of grey here. But creating the result I posted actually took me more time than setting up the lighting in Poser and render it in Superfly.
