Personally, it doesn't concern me much purely because the best AI art is made by people that are already artists. They can actually spot mistakes the AI made and correct them whereas non-artists will let massive, glaring errors slide and publish it without thinking. I have seen some absolutely barf inducing anatomical errors when people who aren't artists try to use it. Even though I wouldn't use it myself, I can safely say that the best use for it is to augment your own existing art rather than creating original works.
Hard to learn those anatomical things without being down in the trenches yourself I bet. Really I'm not worried about AI replacing people. It's always inferior. When it gets better it's always a reflection of the humans tweaking it. What I worry about are the artists that give up on growing their skills. Where I imagine it going is into the settings of an art program. Just like someone might use a gradient as a backdrop to drawing a sunset, you might type in a quick prompt to make a grassy field. But just like using the gradient tool is usually seen as cringe, I'm sure even that use will become situational.
