Uh.. yes you can. Creativity is a skill you get better at with practice. And I don't mean graphic design, I mean inventing and improving the way things work. Manual, algorithmic labor has been replaced with robots a long time ago. Now it's all about doing custom inventive stuff that robots can't handle (even simple stuff like grabbing weirdly shaped lettuce leaves to place on a round bun)
Think realistically - most people who are capable on creativity already do this work. From billions of workers replaced by robots only few percents (or even fraction of percent) will be successfull enough to earn on living with creativity!

Yes, and they will starve and die. Or become desperate enough to survive to figure out how to survive. So what?
