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.
