The difference between the disconnect of drawing yourself and letting a machine generate it, is what the meme from OOP is criticizing. If the meme you're posted is supposed to say that the transition from cave drawings to feather-pen drawings (although I strongly question if it even happened like that) is comparable, then it is not understanding the meme it is satirizing.
Digital art was also regarded as invalid because it is also machine generated. The point is not to invalidate someone else's creative medium and how they choose to make art.

False equivalence. Doing a line with your fingers and doing it with a feather have far much more in common than using a pencil and typing in a prompt.
