I think you're confusing artist with something specific like sculptor or painter. Some of the work people put into getting Stable Diffusion to create the results they want takes plenty of time and skill. But event then I would say that putting in time and skill is not strictly required to make art. You can absolutely be an artist using generative AI, but you of course wouldn't be a painter if you use generative AI. In this example you can be an application developer but still not a programmer.
