Yes but the question is whether it's imagined newly by a human, or it comes from an algorithm that only works because it's combining other people's existing works.
Tablets and software made things easier for humans, AI just... Makes artists obsolete and if you do create something new, it'll be ingested too.
I agree with you in the core principle that less work for more productivity is good, but I feel creative work is the one notable exception. We remember a bunch of paintings from centuries ago not because they're beautiful to look at even, but because these particular artists have found interesting new ways to convey their view of the world or their feelings. AI generating a new version of a Van Gogh painting isn't as impressive.
Ghibli movies, similarly, have a distinctive art style that reminds you of how these movies have been lovingly made by dedicated artists who poured their souls into it. Using AI to shit out random content with the same style is just blatant disrespect for everything they've done. You can use AI to clone paw patrol or something if you want. That's a merch seller, not art.
