I guess the argument is "if the AI mixes enough copied art together so that you can't tell as easily, it's being creative like a human" and I just don't really believe that. Perhaps its a philosophical question.

It's more like this: If you give a machine instructions to construct or do something, is the end result a creative work?

If I design a vase (using nothing but code) that's meant to be 3D printed, does that count as a creative work?

That vase was made using code (literally just text) I wrote in OpenSCAD. The model file is the result of the code I wrote and the physical object is the output of the 3D printer that I built. The pretty filament was store-bought, however.

If giving a machine instructions doesn't count as a creative process then programming doesn't count either. Because that's all you're doing when you feed a prompt to an AI: Giving it instructions. It's just the latest tech for giving instructions to machines.
