The fact that so much media is so easily replaced by AI is proof that a ton of media was already created by handing a prompt to an unknown creator. The fact that this creator was previously human has nothing to do with the prompt. The challenge in the future is going to be supporting artists who previously made money fulfilling prompts, until they create something they actually care about and can support themselves with.

The challenge in the future is going to be supporting everyone whose job has been superceded by technology. AI advancements aren't going to stop at art and artists.
For us to adapt to this new world is going to involve massive shifts in the way our economies work, how we view work ethics and the very concept of a fair days wage for a fair days work. It will involve overturning the ideas of wealth, ambition, motivation, reward, self-worth, heirarchy, identity, etc, etc, etc that underpin the very nature of our societies.
The kicker is that societal and cultural changes like this lag technological progress on a multi-generational scale.
