Good reply. I don’t think we are all artists. Plain fact, not everyone is an artist, even if very technically adept. Also, any image that came out of a camera that is all AI is not a photograph.
I like the phrase “digital artist,” but I’m not so sure about the term, “artist.” Basically, Photoshop, Lightroom, and other computer-based imaging program systems are types of do-it-yourself AI technologies. Applied heavily to a digital photograph renders the image a computergraph. I’m not so sure the result is “art.” It all depends on your definition of Art.
