There’s some data that most of these stories leave out. I’ve tinkered with an AI program that generates pictures. You have to describe what you want it to draw, then you have to refine it, tell it things that you want, things that you DON’T want, etc. It can get VERY technical!
So, considering THAT, I think the person who describes the picture would be the “author”, and should get rights.

Maybe like an oil painter artist.
Does the paint manufacturer own any of the completed work?
