I largely agree. Whether or not something “is art” is almost entirely subjective. But I can literally tell an LMM to “make an art” without any actual direction and it will make something. Does that make it less a work of art? It kind of feels like it to me. But if I ask that 50 times and then pick the one I like best, does that change it’s artistic ‘value’? I can collect a pile of rocks I think look cool and the collection could certainly be considered artistic, and collages are a thing, so there is certainly a lot of gray area there.

I like to think of art as more an activity that an object. If I experience it and it makes me feel things, it is art. If I create something based on my internal feelings, it is art. Maybe art is just the feelings we generate along the way?
