I think this is the biggest aspect. If you're going to be an ai artist then digital photo manipulation is still a skill that is completely necessary.
That's not art, it's image manipulation. Anyone can learn to do it and it doesn't require creative talent, you just need to know the steps to follow to achieve x y or z in photoshop with a pre-existing image.
The issue is that even the people with that skillset don't really like AI that much. Content-aware fill being about as much AI as they wanna use. They can create nice stuff with collage snip and fitting multiple images together so they don't really need much AI.
AI should really only be a supplemental tool for actual artists (and when it's used that way it can be amazing!) but managers don't want to pay actual artists, they want to replace artists with barely skilled AI curators they find on Craigslist.
Case in point: I can do this. My main education into image manipulation is a bootleg copy of Paintshop Pro I had on a disk decades ago. My current process is:
Photopea.com is basically online free photoshop. Genuinely really good.
I've literally forgotten that twice already. I'm gonna stick with my dumb guy method.
Anyway, a man of of my immense talent is about on par with "AI Aritsts".
