You don't tell the AI where to make each stroke, exactly what colours to pick and mix, every detail of the composition. The AI preselects everything for you by considering what the majority of people like in pictures.
No one would say the person "guiding the image" is the one who created the image. This is why ideas aren't copyrightable. Everyone has a ton of ideas. It's the execution that matters, which takes skill, patience and dedication.
Most clients have a very defined idea what they want to have drawn or designed. Especially in a higher price segment. This often takes weeks or months and multiple lengthy discussions between the artist and the client. Never have I seen a client later say "Well that took a lot of talking from my side. I guess it's basically me who created this picture!"
I think a lot of people underestimate how much work it takes and since you don't really see anyone creating the image, you get the impression you somehow magiced it into existence by yourself.
