The market for entry level art is already basically zero. The number of artists wildly outstrips the number of paid opportunities. And the fine art community is basically money laundering, so no real demand their either. So so one is going to lose their job over AI art.

What exactly motivates artists then? Probably a desire to see a given novel imaginary work brought into existence. If someone can do that with AI, they might not develop art skills of their own. But if AI can't create original art, then the artist will still need to develop skills - perhaps not the ones we expect, but skills nonetheless.

So the problem is self-correcting IMHO.
