You are not the only photographers who say things like that. I feel  very
sad when I see statements like that. Art should not be pigeonholed, least
of all by the artists themselves. Chinese calligraphy doesn't look like
Chinese painting, but it is said to be the highest form of Chinese arts. If
you don't see yourself making art, then it will never be "art."
