Well, if the person was able to get something professional that others like then they're an artist. Wether you're using 3d software, paintbrush, or prompt. If you make art that others like and they give you money you are a professional artist. No one was replaced. Just a new artist has entered the workforce.
But an experienced artist with a great sense of composition, color, and framing will run circles around someone who doesn't understand any of those things.
In the end, a person still did the work. The AI didn't direct itself.
No they did. Making high quality AI that makes people want to watch or look at requires a lot of time. It always will.
This is what was said about 3D art back in the day. People thought it was the computer that did all the work. 4 decades later people know that a person builds everything. AI is the same concept. Matter of fact, your best results come with starting with a high quality hand drawn image or nicely constructed 3D model.
AI doesn't just make itself. Especially the generative stuff.
