It's a fair point. But then in the case of a piece of (literal) art created by a computer program, who was the artist if not the programmer? In legal terms software is a work of creativity like any other.
Perhaps the important factor is how many people are involved. To be art, there has to be a single artist.
So if two people work together on a painting, its not art?
Edge case! Maybe? Or a Beatles song written by John and Paul.
What?
