Also when a chef writes a recipe, it’s usually from experimenting and experience while cooking. An AI writing a recipe will say to use a dozen eggs, a teaspoon of sugar, and a metric ton of flour to make 2 pancakes.
Or if we’re talking about prompting like in the post, it’s far more like ordering at a restaurant and then eating what’s put in front of you. If I place an order, even if I get them to make a custom request, I wouldn’t take what I receive and say I cooked it. I just ordered food and something got put on my plate.
If this were re-framed as a commission, where you gave detailed instructions to an actual person to create something, you receiving those results wouldn’t make you the artist in that situation. These are both human involved scenarios, but removing the human doesn’t really change that asking for something is not the same as creating something.
… So you’re saying they have a large sample of data to pull from and give a recipe they believe will work based on that data? I don’t like this analogy…
I am going to put one of my earlier comments that is fairly relevant
Ah yes, because when humans do art we never add little touches that make it our own even if we are closely following the source material. Meanwhile AI only closely follows its data
While they appear similar you can clearly see where they differ, with the end result being much better vs if they had copied the original more faithfully. Those changes were all intentionally done, based on the artists experiences biases and even mood. When AI makes changes it does not have the same intentions because it does not have artistic intent.
When a chef writes a recipe they are not cooking, they are writing a recipe

I would argue that cooking is similar.
And again AI recipes do not work as they take what word is most likely to be next, not what would actually work.
