An actual "AI" classification system would of course need a bunch of refinements to be as effective and Designed as possible, this is just throwing my hat in the ring. I claim no copyright. Made with my drawing pad in GIMP, then trace bitmap in Inkscape, everything else done in Inkscape.

I REALLY like the idea of a classification system!
I work in software, and having an idea of how much slop is in a project would be great. In my experience, there's definitely value in using AI for mindless stuff, but if you start letting it make creative decisions things get ugly.
Maybe there are a few different axes to consider:
I think prompting doesn't necessarily make things bad, but I think it's fair to use "how much prompting was done?" as a signal.
I'd argue that the only creative input to a prompt-based system is the prompt itself. An image from "big booba girl" is trash, but I think there can be some value in using AI to create something specific that you wouldn't have otherwise.
For example, I'm glad that someone made this, even though it's AI. Even if it was prompted, there was creativity and clearly a vision that the creator had, and a prompt would need to be long enough to reflect that.
Maybe the key difference is using AI as a tool vs using it to make creative decisions. Prompt-based systems can easily be misused to make creative decisions, so I definitely understand viewing them with skepticism, but I don't think they're categorically bad. I do think it'd be a generally good practice for folks to share the prompts they used, so that others can evaluate for themselves what comes from the human vs what comes from AI.
Great commentary!
