Among other criticisms, "using technology" does not mean something is "digital". The example on the rock seems to be analog from everything in the post above.
They weren’t saying that the rock art was digital art.
They’re saying that as an artist whose medium of choice is digital, they can still make art in other mediums and that any artist will be able to do the same, no matter their medium.
Sure sounds to me like they are claiming this is digital.
And it's just gatekeeping art. I wouldn't tell a painter they aren't a real artist just because they can't play guitar. And all art forms have long history of passing on information across generations. The saying "good artists borrow, great artists steal" is far older than any computer.
There's a lot of problems with AI in general, but most of these complaints I see about AI art in particular are really misdirected complaints about how terrible copyright and other intellectual property laws are. For almost all of human history until about a century ago it was common and encouraged to take and build upon the ideas of others- it's only because capitalists found a way to profit off of restricting ideas that we started to do so.
Once you take a digital photo of the art and upload it, it becomes digital art... If you like.
But really you're either being intentionally obtuse or you've realised you misinterpreted the statement and are doubling down and trying to dig your way out of a hole.
