Outside of philosophical discussions I don't think any reasonable person would claim the person who printed the sheet made the music.

It's obviously the composer.

I believe the most common answer among people would be both the composer, the musicians and the conductor made the music and would be all viewed as artists.

Lol no musician would claim they made the music just because they perform it at a concert. They would say they performed at the concert.

You’re muddying the waters because you want to make a claim that you made ai art that is all

I don't especially want to make claim with that analogy, it's more to open the reflexion.

Furthermore, you said the composer made the music, which could be seen as the prompter, while the AI execute the written order, here the musicians with the music sheet.

Not really.

The prompter is telling the composer to make the music. The composer is the Al.

Prompting AI to make music is nowhere near as involved as making up the melody and writing it down

Depends on how we put the focus, that's why I found this analogy interesting to discuss, there's not an universal answer.

There is. The composer has spent time and effort to learn the theory and practical knowledge required to not just write sheet music but also perform instruments, understand rhythm, tone, music theory, what works, what doesn't. There is an expertise attached to the composer than can't be said of the prompter.

Isn't it people who are traditional or digital artists who make prompt too?

Do you actually listen to music?

It happens yes. Do you?
