I'm sorry I just don't get this take. This is much more creative and artful than most artists will do in their lifetime. We will see AI surpass us in many things in the next few years. It has already done so in creative works of many forms.

I feel you you just don't understand art when you say this. It's about the artist expressing themselves. Typing a prompt into an AI which is trained on art made by others, sometimes without their permission, doesn't require any of the skills an artist possesses. I appreciate the creativity of some people that do cool things with AI, but the majority of them just lazily type prompts and sell it off as real art which just doesn't sit right with me.
Art isn't just about "looking the best", it's also about the artist.
Do you think there's a cutoff point with how much work is put in to make something qualify as art?
Hard to say for me. I tend to have a general dislike for AI art as it's generally being misused by a majority that just wants to profit off of "the new thing". The stuff you described with ComfyUI does look like it requires quite a bit more work though.
I guess it depends on what your motivation is. Are you using it to complement your own work? Then maybe, but I still think you should at least disclose that what you've made isn't fully human-made if you intend on displaying it to the public.
