> But if you worked at a fantasy publishing house and commissioned a cover painting, it might take a fair amount of work for you to get the artist to create something in line with what you envisioned.

If you do this infrequently, you're a commissioner of work.

If you do it daily, in-house, for your own products... you might just have the title "Art Director."

"Art director" seems accurate for what a skillful user of art generators with a specific vision does.

I have also thought that since people find "director" lofty (thanks to auteur theory?) and therefore pretentious to assume, one could borrow "producer" from Vocaloid: https://vocaloid.fandom.com/wiki/Producer (alternative front end: https://antifandom.com/vocaloid/wiki/Producer).

I would agree.

And the best Art Directors today almost all have a background in creating art themselves, in some fashion. I suspect that will remain true in the AI world as well, at least for the foreseeable future.
