Why would anyone have to articulate that? They are programs that allow people to make the pictures they have in their minds into a form that others can now look at. People who otherwise wouldn't be able to make these pictures before (because they were bad at drawing or whatever) now can. That's not "necessary" but then again nothing about art really is. It's just fun.

If the generators are genuinely creative, then they are as necessary as any human artist.

If the generators are not creative, then what's the problem?

Our population is way too high for hunting & gathering to be sustainable. Modern farming tech is absolutely necessary to avoid widespread famine.
