I don’t see how rejection of new automation technology is justified at all actually. There is literally no rational basis for rejecting this tech and ensuring that it’s only used by people who are directly opposed to your ideals. The fallacy if your argument is the underlying assumption that if the tiny minority on the left doesn’t use it, then it’s going to have any impact on broad usage. Image generation is an excellent tool for making things like political memes, and other forms of agitation. The right uses it aggressively, and it directly drives their recruitment. Why the left should ignore this tech is frankly beyond me.
