": they are marketed towards (and created by) laypeople with who want generic content and don't care about human artists"

Good. The artists I know have zero interest in doing that work. I have sacrificed a small fortune to invest in my wife's development as an artist so she never had to worry about making any money. She uses AI to help with promoting and "marketing" herself.

She and all of her colleagues all despise commissioned work and they get a constant stream of them. I always tell her to refuse them. Some pay very well.

If you are creating generic "art" for corporations I have little more than a shrug for your anxiety over AI.
