To really be considered a generative artist, you can't just curate what the robot does, you have to become a collaborator. A famous action painter called Herman Nitsch illustrates this by having collaborators throw the paint (he never touches the paint himself in his later works). Thus having other humans become the robot. He guides his robot through grunts and hand gestures. Sometimes a few shouts. Harold Cohen is another famous example of generative art entering the fine art sphere. He both built the robot that paints the images, curates the images that can get painted, and programs the algorithms that pick the robot's brush strokes. Concluding with, in order to be a generative artist, you must be involved in the act of creation, not just the prompt that finds the thing.
