Its interesting you mention a toddler drawing for 2 hours - I can say with certainty that toddler drawing will demonstrate more creativity than this argument and, every iteration of it, I see every single day. Smh

Actual creators understand what creativity is and what creation is - not all creation even is creative, as its really more of a process, than it is a singular output, and there are monotonous, time consuming, meticulously frustrating parts of the process of creation.

If you want to limit yourself to creation without the quality of life enhancements, that exist in this time and space - you do you.

Don't proselytize tho - you are not doing what you think you are.

> If some toddler spends two hours on a drawing, it's a masterpiece?

A work doesn't have to be a masterpiece to obtain a copyright so what difference does it make? The point of copyright isn't to subjectively critique art.

The prompt itself may be copyrighted.

What matter is whether or not its a masterpiece?

The output is mechanically derived from the prompt. There's zero artistry or creativity involved, and despite all the posturing, those are more or less hard requirements for copyright. The prompt may meet the criteria and be copyrighted.
