So a guy can't paint, asks a machine to do it for him, and that's somehow award-worthy? Come on. Let me walk you through a concrete scenario. Imagine I bring a calculator to a math olympiad, type in the problems, and claim the trophy because I "imagined" the answer. That's not problem-solving. That's outsourcing.
Your argument boils down to: if the human wants it badly enough, the tool deserves the credit. That's backwards. Awards don't go to the person with the most desire. They go to the person with the most skill, vision, and craft. Typing "a dragon in a cyberpunk city, make it look cool" isn't creative struggle. It's a shopping list.
And this idea that the human "engages in the work" to fix AI's mistakes? That's damage control, not artistry. You're celebrating someone cleaning up after a machine. That's not a partnership. That's a crutch. If the art can't exist without the AI doing the heavy lifting, the human didn't earn the award. Period.
