I think we're comparing apples (heh) and oranges a bit here. iPhone cameras are essentially the same thing as digital camera and now anyone can use them. Maybe amateurs are messing up their lighting or exposure or composition or whatever, but they are doing the same thing a professional photographer once did. It's also pretty difficult to tell professional photography from amateur stuff.

AI isn't drawing like a human artist does. It's a completely distinct process from someone putting marks on a page. The caveats, or turds as the author of the original article put them, are pretty difficult to fix without having actual training and skills in art, and acquiring those skills is a lot harder than learning to take photos.
