Do you have some evidence of this being how we are currently getting quality artists? Talking with one digital artist, my impression was that stock art plus the ever-declining ad CPM rate eliminated most of the lower-level work years ago.

There are still plenty of entry and lower/mid level graphic artists working at creative agencies, ad agencies, etc. it’s possible some may be replaced but their skills would still likely be needed if AI is doing most of the work for edits, adjustments, exporting out of .PSD, etc
I don’t see why AI generation would be restricted to stock art. There are plenty of very impressive results already that will displace artists further down the chain.

I think of it more like, If an artist can support themselves doing commissions of low quality art so they can support their high quality art, that’s better than if they had to drive Uber.

The tweet you shared looks like low-effort stock art with a "deep" idea that I have already seen thousands of renditions of. It looks quite similar to a PowerPoint of 36 images picked from stock sites with (slightly fancier) fade transitions between them, and a background soundtrack.
