I'd prefer 'generative ai' as the common term. It rubs me the wrong way that human artists are 'content creators' while this is supposed to be 'art'

And in case it wasn't clear, I agree 100% with you. There's an amazing generative scene I've been following since the early naughties

Entirely clear, thanks - and yeah some truly astonishing stuff in generative art

Content saturation is gonna be bad enough without us voluntarily diluting nomenclature

That's a really interesting point, "content creators" always gave me a weird feeling but I never really thought on it, assuming it was just because it reeked of euphemism

Odd that we've collectively ended up giving human creativity a term that sounds like a tool or automaton, while giving the automatons our term.

Thanks for the chin scratcher!
