My art teacher glanced at my AI piece in class and just said 'that looks like yours,' and I froze
I showed her the printout in the hallway after class on a Tuesday, half hoping she would say it was cheating so I could stop feeling weird about it. She said the colors and the messy edges reminded her of my older stuff, which is strange since the prompt only said 'stormy field' plus a few words. If the output only looks like me because I picked and cropped it, does that make the picking the art, or just the last step?

As someone who once spent 45 minutes picking the perfect AI generated wallpaper and still ended up with something that looked like a toddler finger painted it, I feel you on the weirdness. The whole "is the picking the art" thing is such a rabbit hole, because like, a photographer picks a frame too, right? But they're pointing a camera at real light hitting real stuff, and you're pointing a text box at a math machine that ate the whole internet. The difference might not even matter though, since your teacher saw YOUR taste in there, the same way she'd see it in a sketch you did at 2am. Maybe the picking and cropping IS more of the art than people want to admit, because that's the part where you actually decide something.
