You are misreading what I have written. I even explicitly said "No one is saying that." In response to your earlier claim.

"you'd have to have the kind of experience that only comes from years or decades of practice"

Yes. Exactly.

The promise of AI is that it's supposed to allow everyone and anyone to be Van Gogh, without any training or practice,

That's not the argument I made! You are way into strawman territory.

I claim that AI can be art because it is a tool that requires human intent. The type of effort is irrelevant. Everyone against AI art dismisses the effort of writing careful exacting instructions to achieve a result. Movie directors are considered artists despite not sewing the costumes, painting the sets, or writing the words. They only prompt others into achieving their vision.
