If you mean a drawing tablet, I also vouch for Krita. It's free and open source, so you can use it right away however you'd like. It has all the general tools you'd expect for drawing with a tablet and plenty of resources and documentation too!
If you mean something like an android tablet, I do see a build of Krita on F-Droid (a FOSS only app store), but I haven't ever tried it. Barring that or iPad maybe ibisPaint? It's proprietary but free to access basic tools, and could get you started exploring and creating.
What does that phrase even mean? Asking something else to make something for you is not artistic, so it can't be that. People who commission other humans to make things aren't suddenly artists. If they literally just mean consumption of images, it's not as if web searching for images has been difficult for the last couple decades at this point. If you don't care about art at all and just want content, there are lifetimes of things you could look for readily available to indulge. Just start typing and away you go! Literally the only thing that has changed is that now you are accelerating dead internet theory and removing human interaction from what you consume. Of course, if you don't care about art that is a moot point, since human self-expression and communication never meant anything to you in the first place.
At best, the phrase should be specialized, on demand consumption of niche content is more accessible, not art.
