Artists three years ago: Being an artist under capitalism sucks ass, I'm forced to make soulless corporate "art" for almost no money and I hate it.

Artists now: Hey! My corporate art gigs!

If AI can replace your job, you weren't doing art, you were doing illustration. That's like 19th century painters complaining about photographs replacing royal portraits. Sucks for the lost income (the same way it sucks for anyone whose job is automated, artists aren't special there, almost none of the jobs from 200 years ago still exist). But let's not pretend that what is being replaced had great creative or artistic value to begin with. If it did, AI couldn't do it.
