That’s what I was trying to get at with this comment. OP asked if it can be considered “original content,” but a lot of people seem to be arguing about whether it’s “art.”
I for sure agree that you can use AI as a tool to generate something that’s original. When photography was new, people argued about whether a photograph could be considered art because it didn’t require the same kinds of skills and talent as drawing and painting. Now people don’t argue about it, but they also don’t tend to commingle paintings and photography - they’re separate categories.
That’s the way I feel about AI generated images. They’re cool and can take skill, but the skills are fundamentally different and those images are in a different category.
