You still have to have a sense of taste and aesthetics and restraint to get something good out of AI art tools. If you don't, or you're Indian, you end up making the same ugly repetitive shit you see in the comments of every Civitai model page.
If AI is doing 98% of the work, and digital editing software does like, 60-80% of the work for a typical digital artist, is it really that much of a jump?
Those tools don't actually do the work for you.
If an artist uses the shape, line, magic wand, mirror, pattern, filters, and fill tools in Photoshop or whatever, how much of the work are they actually doing themselves?
That's like saying the different brushes (or any other tool in literal any job) you use does the work for you. Power tools aren't doing your job for you. They make it easier and quicker. Even a CNC machine isn't doing your job for you.
But that's precisely the point. AI is another tool. An extremely overhyped tool that only produces dogshit in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they're doing. It has it's uses but like always it can't actually replace human input.
The only artists who need to fear AI are those who are so shit at their job that shitty AI art can actually replace them. Because 'art' fully generated by AI is generally dogshit.
