Simply taking what artists say as gospel isn't any more rational

How about knowing what you’re talking about, is that more rational? Making a painting and taking a photograph have separate and distinct end products, so of course they’re going to fall into separate niches. If a VFX artist working for 70k a year and an AI tool that costs a 2k yearly license produce identical results, than obviously the artist’s job is going to be eliminated to reduce overhead.

Again, the problem here is with the economic system as opposed to technology. Surely you can understand this yes?

I understand it and while it’s true, it’s also a deflection. Unless you’re an accelerationist.

How is it a deflection? The technology exists, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube at this point. Might as well start engaging with reality. And not sure what pointing out that capitalism is the problem has to do with accelerationism. You're being incoherent here.
