While I agree that we should procreate, I disagree with the entire premise of this post.

I have always been garbage at the visual arts. Art classes in school were my worst class every year, I just could not get the pictures in my head down on to paper. I accepted that I just wasn't "creative". This mentality persisted through my school years and I ended up getting a business degree because it's not "creative". I was miserable. Eventually saw the light and got into web dev. I believe this is a creative pursuit, and the issue is the medium. Everyone is inherently creative and the general act of creation is one of the most fulfilling things you can do to occupy your time.

As a web dev AI allows me to be creative in my ideas and prompting, generating pictures that I would otherwise not have the ability to create myself. Before you say I'm taking the job of graphic designers, I assure you none of these uses would have ended in me spending any money or even someone else's time if AI image gen didn't exist. AI lowers the bar for people to pursue the act of creativity in a medium they otherwise struggle in.
