Text-based generation of digital images has made a giant leap towards becoming a mainstream phenomenon. With text-based generative systems, anybody can create digital images and artworks. This raises the question of whether text-based generative art is creative. This paper expounds on the nature of human creativity involved in text-based generative art with a specific focus on the practice of prompt engineering, drawing on Rhodes's conceptual model of creativity. The paper critiques the current product-centered view of creativity which may fall short in the context of text-based generative art. An case exemplifying this shortcoming is provided and future opportunities for research on text-based generative art are outlined.

翻译：以文本为基础的数字图像的生成为主流现象迈出了一大步。有了基于文本的基因化系统,任何人都可以创建数字图像和艺术作品。这就提出了基于文本的基因化艺术是否具有创造性的问题。本文件阐述了基于文本的基因化艺术中涉及人类创造力的性质,具体侧重于迅速工程实践,借鉴了罗得的创造力概念模型。本文批评了目前以产品为中心的创造性观点,这种观点在基于文本的基因化艺术中可能不尽人意。提供了一个例子说明这一缺陷,并概述了今后对基于文本的基因化艺术进行研究的机会。
