This feels like it was drawn in one of those $200 drawing tablets

It's not about accessibility moneywise - it's accessibility skillwise. Many people do not want to put any effort into learning a new skill, so asking AI to do it for them is just way more convenient and "accessible".

This is part of a large shift in society where "failure" is seen as something extremely negative. You either do something and are immediately good at it, or you should just stop altogether.

AI hallucinations are the modern equivalent to clip art from the 90's, change my mind.

The artist used stolen materials to make art. The AI "artist" used stolen materials to make "art".

One makes money, one doesn't . The market has spoken. Actual artists will be able to continue on not make much money doing what they love and that is the meta of their chosen path. If you are an artist and you feel your job is threatened by AI, make better art or join the club of people who had their jobs taken by technology; you will have company. We still have cobblers, blacksmiths, and woodworkers; artists should take note of their revised business models.
