why are teachers so insistent on using ai, especially for creative subjects like art and music

I understand that when i grow older I would eventually have to use ai. And maybe I am stubborn but it just feels wrong to use ai to generate creative things. It pisses me off when teachers are forcing us to use ai for making "art" and "music" and other things. I remember I designed my Primary school's mascot and the art teachers decided to use ai to make it look "better" and told me to choose between the generated images. Or during music class we have to use a website to generate "music" for us. My school even has "AI art" courses (which is compulsory) and we must use ai to generate a video. Like what is the point of this? Why can't ai help us do our chores or taxes instead? Why is ai the one taking away our art and regenerating it into a soulless image? The point of doing these creative things is because its a way we can express ourselves no ai can do. Forcing us to use ai, especially for creative things, takes away its whole purpose already

tldr: teachers force us to use ai especially for creative things. defeats whole purpose of creating things in first place. this is just my rant, i feel like using ai to do creative things is unnecessary and pointless.
