This is just an image search with extra steps.

I can kinda see what you're getting at but I'm not quite sure I'd say this, since you are very obviously creating artwork that doesn't exist yet. Like, that's the whole point. You are not looking for a thing that is already there and there is no amount of image searching that would get you back the things you make because they literally aren't out there to be found

I definitely would never use the terms drawing, painting, etc to describe the creation of AI-generated art. I don't think I would call the people who make it "artists", either. And I agree that there is probably not much expression going on from the people who type in "a muskrat with elon musk's face", laugh a little about the outputs, and then move on. But the people who actually put effort into creating individual specific images with a composition, subject, style, etc that they planned out in their mind what they were looking for and then used the AI to render it as an image... I don't know how you can't say there's some level of self-expression there
