I wouldn't fight against using AI as a tool. Ironically, if you had asked most people 15 years ago what sorts of things AI wouldn't be good at, they would've said something like "creativity" or "idea generation." I think most people would've expected AI to do some level of polish while the people were the fountains of creativity.
Reality has given us the exact opposite situation. AI has proven to be basically a bounded RANDOM function that can instantly throw countless weird and unique ideas our way in seconds. Fighting against this is fighting against a great tool. The power of a concept artist designing a new landscape to just describe a few things, have AI output a few ideas, and then off you go, sampling interesting color palettes, taking forms or ideas from here or there. The power of a composer to have gone through 50 AI generated melodies to find a couple of hooks that they probably wouldn't've thought of, only to inspire a new variant, or to pull them in and build around them.
TL;DR don't fight it, use it as an idea generator to give you some Lego blocks for a particular creative Enterprise. Your role will shift more to the taste maker, where you'll be expected to have good artistic taste for curating and assembling and guiding AI outputs.
