I've been thinking about Tiny Balancing Sheep (TBS) & how my liking for them highlights one of the things I dislike about AI art (bear with me here).

I was on the lookout for an opportunity to snap myself a TBS this week. I failed (I will persevere).

But I could MAKE one really easily. I have loads of suitable photos & am a dab hand at editing.

But it would be lacking ALL the joy of finding a TBS & that's where all the value of the photo lies. It's the process.

Obviously someone editing photos to make them into something else is different to creating an image with prompts to an AI & is a thing I am quite happy with generally. There is a human process there. But there would be no point in replicating a TBS by editing. You miss the experience at its core. A TBS by any means other than finding one in the wild is not really a TBS.
