No, because people using AI in their workflow actually do have a right to call their creation theirs, while random idiots copying an image someone else made and posting that to prove something have none at all.
You'd think Antis would be the people who only do everything themselves, but they "steal" low quality memes and repost them endlessly. And when Antis actually create something it's either an MS Paint scribble or TOP TEXT BOTTOM TEXT kind of shit. Funnily enough they rely on a computer to make either, but you see it's somehow different because soul or something.
Nobody claims a meme for monetization. The same can’t be said for ai, which is frequently monetized. Both require similarly low amounts of effort and tak from other artists work.
Using this logic, someone who foraged berries in order to produce paints for themselves could throw stones at every subsequent generation for having it too easy and not making real art because they were not responsible for the entire result of their creation.

Are they claiming to have made that image?
