their argument is so broad it ends up also applying ti things like photography.
That’s what you said, so I take it as: if I give a definition that includes Photography, it will be regarded as too broad. But I went ahead and gave you part of a definition anyways.
What I said is that Art is not a commodity. I will grant you that “wanting things” and “getting things” is a form of human expression, but it is not art, that is exchanging commodities. If you can express a Generative AI scenario where someone draws upon their “values” instead of their desires then you might have an example of art. So in your library scenario, what “values” are behind their desires for “digital art”? Or is this person just wanting a certain aesthetic?
