And this can be a sort of statement of saying that the very concept of art is deep rooted in our blood and drawing stuff that a child would draw is a reminder of how it's so embedded in our nature that we would practice it from the day we begin to think.
This is not the worst idea in the world, and some people are already doing that- for example recently in the World of Warcraft Reddit community there was a person who was creating posts with made up, misleading information that confused writing AI on news websites into writing obviously fake news.
The problem with that is that art AI and writing AI have different purposes. Since writing AI is often used for current events such as news and therefore learns from new sources, this kind of protest can work- but art AI doesn't need to be current. It already has billions upon billions of images to learn from, and a few child-like drawings isn't going to make an impact.
I suppose you could create such a movement as a means of raising public awareness, but unfortunately, unless someone pushes for legislation against it, it's here to stay, because it's not really day-to-day people who are using it.
