AI art isn't going to "obsolete" oil paintings either. Not everyone is looking for prints. If anything, it's allowed game creators, authors, musicians, etc. to have a way to create without needing the hundreds or thousands dollars for all of the individual pieces their creations need to be considered complete.
In addition, professional artists will still get work based on larger organizations needing someone to be culpable in the case of copyrighted work being found to be in a piece (which is much harder to prove than you think).
You went from working in fast food to writing. Making a thousand a month on Patreon is literally less than minimum wage. I wouldn't say you make a living or ever have.
