Fair, the term "art" definitely changed meaning over time and is not quite universally agreed upon. What you made me think is that it's indeed a term where the goal posts are up for moving, just like "AI", the only timeless definition of which I can think of being: "Anything people recently thought only humans can do, but it turned out computers can do them". As for your last question: With games, I see a pretty clear distinction between those designed to quickly make lots of people addicted to the point where they spend as much money as possible, and those that primarily aim to transmit experiences or emotions. Thinking about other businesses, I guess there's also a distinction between the short term revenue optimising ones, and those that focus on delighting the customer. Thinking about it, I should probably also consider that art, as I think parent suggested. Anything that's being created for a primary purpose other than short term revenue possibly. So in summary, I suppose whether or not something is art is better decided based on the intentions of the creator, not the tools they use for creation.
