Learning to play an instrument, to draw, sculpt or basically anything is hard, or at least it takes time.
There was never a market for mediocrity... but people will happily pay for exposure (to play in a bar, rent a space as a gallery and so on).
The problem is that even for good art it's hard, and it has always been. The rise of accessible stock art doesn't help, and AI will not.
Still one point is important: if you want to create something new, and not reassess (derive) the same thing, I guess we (human) have still a place. At least for now.
