I understand the point of the argument, but as you say — it’s a false premise because only one of them is an art tool. The other is a faulty clip art machine that literally steals from artists.
Even before generative AI I saw these arguments in music production that they had to pirate stuff because they couldn’t afford Serum/Abelton Live etc.
Never mind that there have been free digital music tools for decades now. Maybe a little clunkier but money has never been a barrier towards creating art.
The argument is that they are both simply tools. It’s completely wrong, but that’s what it is.

If you can’t afford a box of crayons and some paper, how the hell could you afford a computer?
Edit: by “you”, I’m of course referring to people who would make the argument. I know your reply wasn’t actually making the argument.
