I disagree. I think it will be a lot like how technology has effected music production.
40+ years ago, it was hard to access the equipment necessary to learn music production, so only a small slice of the population was able to learn these skills. And availability made the process take years.
Today, you can download free software that enables music production, and if you have a good ear, can create something "good" in weeks. This has led to an explosion of musical experimentation by the youth: a teenager can now create a great electronic dance song with devices they already own if they have the right creativity, taste and dedication.
Similarly, everyone has an imagination - many people have visual imaginations. The gating factor of art production is largely the mechanical memory of how to transform mental concepts into the right shapes and hues to express that visual concept to others.
With these sorts of tools we are going to have an explosion of art hobbyists. I've played with some similar, more primitive AI art generation tools and it is a lot of fun. People will be creating works of art from their couch while watching TV that rival the quality of what professionals are producing today.
