What role do you call this person?

Is the person who directed an AI like a film director: set rules, fed it six writing guides in careful order (theory first, format last), built two characters whose powers create an unsolvable gap that IS the story, wrote a blueprint specifying each page's emotional job, then demanded five drafts scored against the absorbed rules, controlling everything about the writing without writing a word.

Would you call them a writer and is this artistically legitimate?
