I don't believe photography must be captured by a camera. Photograms have been considered photographs. The defining characteristic of photography is that it is a image created as a result of the action of light on a light sensitive material.
Based on your definition this is not photography. Photogenesis? Photosynthetic? For that matter, since it does not involve light at all, it's not really photo-anything.

One of the first forms of photo manipulation shortly after photography was invented was replacing skies in the darkroom, because the orthochromatic films of the day resulted in washed out skies. How can something which has been done from the very start of photography not be "real" photography?
I rely on your first sentence to explain, where you differentiate photo manipulation from photography.
Having been done for umpty years doesn't change the reality of what it is or isn't.

Photography is not just the camera, it's the whole process, including the "darkroom".

For instante, look at this example I've created using Midjourney by using this simple sentence: "Sailboat at dusk with clouds hdr"

It is incredibly intelligent, but it is totally artificial. It has its place I suppose, but photography as we know it records actual experiences and this does not. For the creation of images In which actual or personal experience may be irrelevant, we may see more sophisticated versions of this software being used quite often.

Agreed.
While photography and AI are both image creation, AI is not photography, and photography is not AI.

Remember film photography is a different art form from film photography.

Just like painting is not photography or charcoal is not photography.
It IS a completely separate art form and not photography.
It will grow as there is no individual skill involved thus anyone can do it and will be for the masses.
It will be fun and interesting though and we shall see how this art form to develops.
