If your being "creative" consists of nothing more than having an AI vomit things up for you with no input on your part except for some prompts, you're not a creative. If my argument above seems repetitive, it's because i'm trying to hammer home a point that should be obvious, and is obvious to any number of people who exercise real creativity, regardless of its medium.
Also, ad hominem is fine as long as it doesn't form the main thrust of an argument.
Ad hominem is what people do when they lack a more convincing direct argument. It's one thing to draw attention to relevant attributes of a speaker, it's another to say "What i'm seeing here are the arguments of an apparently typical AI bro", which is literally an attempt to discredit an argument by insulting and pigeonholing the speaker, instilling bias, instead of engaging with the argument itself. It is childish, and poor taste.

Hm, some people disagree with you:

You can shout at clouds and spread hate online all you want, but you still don't have the power to declare someone a creative or not. I did not grant you that power and neither has anyone else. Your criticism is yours alone of which to bear the weight, meanwhile I'm gonna go make art with cool revolutionary tools that redefine what it can mean to be an artist and allow many more people to participate in self-expression.
