If I tell a human artist to draw me something, am I an artist?

No.

Neither are people who ask AI to draw them something.

That probably depends on whether you consider LLMs, or human artists, as tools.

If someone uses an LLM to make code, is consider the LLM to be a tool that will only be as good as the person prompting it. The person, then, is the developer while the LLM is a tool they're using.

I don't consider auto complete, IDEs, or LSPs to take away from my being a developer.

This distinction likely goes out the window entirely if you consider an LLM to actually be intelligent, sentient, or conscious though.
