A photo with some another photo pieces cut out and stuck on technically counts as art, a black square or a blank canvas counts as art. Seems more like art has nothing to do with the level of effort, nor does it have anything to do with precision, because there's instances of people clipping AI generated art until they get something they want out of the end result, and that still doesn't count as art.
It's likely the reason it doesn't count as art is because if it did, then it would have all the protections that come with art, and all of the fields associated with art and writing and so on would be flooded with poor quality AI generated work before anyone was prepared to deal with it. That still happened, but at least those companies weren't also dragged into class action lawsuits about denying people's art based only on their tool of choice.
It's more likely that we live in primitive times and simply can't handle millions or billions of stories and art flooding in in an attempt to make a quick buck from sites that buy short stories and small commission works.
