Because in this case, they’re writing a prompt. Prompts for AI aren’t exactly creative writing. They’re basically a series of keywords or tags. Figuring out which keywords work to get the thing to generate what you want isn’t really creative, either.
Yeah that’s totally fair. I was trying to steelman the position of the prompting being a labor of love through intensive writing, because I felt that granting this falls flat, and seemingly treats writing as unworthy compared to a purely generated visual interpretation. I entirely grant that in reality, a prompt is about as creative as placing an order in a restaurant.
