The truly skilled artists will remain in high demand, perhaps even higher demand. Mid/low tier artists will see their consumer base dry up as competent AI jockeys begin charging for their work and that practice becomes more accepted.
As with the printing press and camera, brand new jobs will also be created, but I'm not exactly sure what that would look like. Mass production of concept art? Fusion of digital art skill with mass production or random idea generation of AI? You might even have good artists charge AI model creators commissions to use their work to train models. Hard to say.
