Seeing something through human eyes described in a creative way is of course art, whether it be dogs or rocks or fields. You know you're wrong here and even walked it back above in a cowardly way:

You're hopelessly out of your depth and should join some classes or start knocking about with artists as I've done all my adult life.
My mother was an artist until she became disabled.

It would open your mind in ways you're incapable of imagining.
You're the classic loser with low intelligence who's gotten older, who learns a subject, sees his former hilarious ignorance, and assumes others who disagree with his newfound "wisdom" were as ignorant as he was. You're definitely autism spectrum, without the high intelligence to offset it.

The worst thing for me is that you actually remind me so much of myself as a 14 year old maths and music geek.
You have so little imagination or understanding of the human condition that you see reminders of yourself in people that are totally different to you.
Multiple people are mocking you in this thread and it's going right over your head. You've lost this and you understand people so little that you don't even realize it.
You've created an artificial definition of art, that few people would agree with, that you can't even defend intellectually on the lowest level, in order to create a definitional protection from what robots could produce being called "art', even if it's superior to what humans produce in every conceivable way. It's silly low end sophistry that no one here is buying.
You've clearly spent little time thinking about consciousness, the human condition, what we are and the philosophical bounds of what we can truly say about others and their intentions, and how that ties into things like AI. You have a child's view of the brain and an ignoramus's view of AI and a narrow contrived view of art.
