Because a prompt in their interpretation would be no different then using Geometry Nodes for a lot of it's work, or Substance Designer, or even here with Terragen, where you only template an idea, and generate it at random, based on seeds, just like AI. Like in Terragen, having infinite worlds you just generate at random from seeds and populate at random, nothing there is something you actually authored. The application just spits it out.
They say the comic had no authorship, but was not only highly composed to get what they wanted, but then composited into frames, borders added, and then an entire authored story from a human applied over it. To then say it wasn't authored by a human, because illustration within the story, is a liability imo and it's people that don't know what they're talking about that are going to end up ruining things for more then just AI artists.
