This is a false comparison. With digital art there is still human creativity. The only thing resembling human creativity going into AI art is the prompt
Did this image create itself, or did a human have a concept and bring that concept to fruition? “AI” can’t think. It doesn’t know who Lenin is or why this poem is meaningful. That was a human thought.
If by “creativity” you just mean mechanical skill, then sure. If OP decided it was personally meaningful to spend a few hundred hours honing the skill to draw in this style and then a few hours manually drawing this meme, then that’s cool. If you want to bake a loaf of bread from scratch, that’s cool. It’ll even taste better than store bought! But as cool as hobbies like that may be, they aren’t leftist praxis.
It’s a weird feeling to see a value form get transformed by technology, I understand. But griping about it is unmaterialist.
Edit: Okay maybe I just got angry. Do you want to know why? Its because the liberal establishment puts creativity on a pedestal. It says that those with lesser creativity are lesser humans.
Observe how radlibs claim that reactionaries are all uncreative. Or how westerners claim that easterners are all uncreative. What they actually want to do is dehumanize. Creativity, to them, is just another word for whiteness.
I think I have low creativity, but that’s not something that makes me less human.
