counterpoint (not that this makes it easier) is that lowering the skillset needed for people to express and communicate what’s in their head has always led to more art and diverse perspectives being shared. it’s upsetting to artists that the skill they’ve spent their whole lives developing has less value now, but allowing more people to create is far from a bad thing in a lot of cases
It doesn’t “lower skillset needed to create”, that can be achieved by making lowcost/free but powerful tools to be widely available.
What it does is lowering the bar on making something that’s pretending to be decent but in actuality don’t have time and effort put in it.
Which means that the only thing it is going to led to is massive amounts of slop
better tools will never lead to me being able to paint or draw without significant time and effort that i don’t have invested into practice
however i can express a fantasy world visually by describing it to AI - it’ll be kinda jank, but im still better able to communicate my imagination visually than i could otherwise without the help of someone who has skills to draw, paint, etc
