I think we agree. "Giving a prompt to a black-box model created by a large corporation" is just the average, and the popular perception of the term "generative art". Genuary is also explicitly about making art with code, so there is a more technical distinction that has nothing to do with the amount of effort required. And maybe the solution is for Genuary to embrace AI art and to stop describing itself as doing things with code specifically. It's something to consider, but I think the AI art would drown out the algorithmic stuff, and the latter would probably have an exodus and be forced to start something else. As for people gatekeeping and being dismissive, yes those people are out there. Hopefully my comment did not imply any of that.
