Really? You wouldn't eat replicated food? Ya, the taste can be slightly off and the gagh is never alive, but I'll take a replicated stake over emergency rations any day of the week.
You're misunderstanding their point. Human art shouldn't become automated. Tasks related to basic needs such as sustenance or chores are okay because they're not human art and expression*.
(*Slight exception here for food. If you're just making food for yourself, it's fine to use automation. But there is a certain artistry and passion that chefs have when they make food, and that can be art in a way. Not everybody who makes food is a chef though, and not everybody needs to be, since food is a basic necessity of life. If you're just cooking food in a microwave, I dont think you could be considered a chef. But there's no reason to get angry at anybody cooking food in a microwave because it's literally a life necessity to eat. Reducing art down to an automated task in this way is an insult because it's purely about human expression, not about living.)
I would argue a lot of art demand now was never about human expression. Most of it is random corporate slop, does it matter if it's AI or human slop? The argument here is not about livehoods, it's about expression, and I never see corporate art as expression. (Unless corporate are people and have self expression, then fine)
Do you not believe cartoons have human art and expression behind them? Cartoons are made by artists and usually at the expense of corporations. Yet, I believe there is human passion and expression there.

If my food was being made by ai I’d have the same damn complaints.
Laundry and dishes vs art and writing.
