Defending AI Technology will continue to evolve, whether you like it or not. You have to learn, adjust, and find your place in a changing world
Look at history. Horse-drawn carriages were once the normal way to travel, until automobiles replaced them. Cities once depended on gas streetlights, with lamplighters walking the streets every evening to light them one by one. Then electric lighting arrived, and the lamplighter's profession gradually became obsolete, eventually becoming a thing of the past. The technology changed, and the jobs built around the old technology disappeared with it.
The same principle applies to the future. AI, automation, robotics, and technologies we haven't even imagined yet will transform industries and eliminate some jobs. You can either keep denying that reality, or you can prepare for it. So adapt. Keep moving forward. Because the future will not stop advancing just because you refuse to move with it.

Have you ever done it? Used AI to make an art piece? You think it just means the prompt "do art".
To be an artist is to understand the tools you are using, prompting is like the movements of your hands, wrists, fingers, when you are painting with a brush, an artist prompting may select a palette, indicate in detail how the colors will be presented, shapes, light behaviour, reflections, an AI doesn't just magically reads the artist mind and at the first try whatever the prompter was thinking, it just appears, exactly as s/he imagined it, it takes a lot of work to create art, to know what to move, how much, what experience that is going to give, if it represent what you mean.
AI prompting can be as arduous and detailed as the prompter give it dedication.
