I think you are right on these points. It's also possible previous Generative Art was not sufficiently problematic enough to be thoroughly analyzed. Something feels different about AI than other Generative uncontrolled processes like the ones you mentioned. Can't quite put a description to it yet. My other reply to you goes into detail on the core of where my thoughts are coming from. I agree that giving credit to the entity you got the model from also feels weak. There is just a certain mix of deliberate intention, uncontrolled process, and expected outcomes involved here that also feels weak to classify as just using tooling
