One could have an argument about what it means to create art, what art is meant to represent, point to how early Paleolithic man felt it important to create cave paintings in breathtaking detail, and have a complex discussion on AI being able to do more than simple, repetitive tasks.
But we know these people lack the introspection required for that. They would rather cry about it being "theft" when an algorithm learns how to draw through references.
Why would I support a human artist's page protesting AI art when AIs can make better art pages protesting AI art at a fraction of the cost?
