>AI art is well-recognized

I disagree with this assertion. I don't think it's at all well-recognized, and in fact derided and shunned by the general public.

> Is someone selling their impressionist paintings today on a fair more an artist than someone who has put equivalent or more effort in creating prompts, references, final renders, image curation and postprocessing etc?

Emphatically, yes. Considering the latter is not an artist at all.
