It took me a couple of hours to get 5 generated images that had a semi-consistent theme and look that I wanted -- for PowerPoint slides. I don't see how AI art in its current state could possibly be used for something like the art in Slay the Spire. I challenge the "now... better quality, for pennies, in minutes" assertion. Maybe in a few years.

  So the alternative to paying an artist is... paying a stable diffusion jockey*? I'd rather pay an artist, they tend to have unique and consistent styles that can be evaluated a priori. * prompt engineer? Hilarious.

    If your google-fu isn’t good you can hire a researcher. In general if you really suck at using a tool then you need to hire someone, it’s not the tool’s problem. And yeah, I’m not sure everyone would prefer paying a human for 100x the cost at 100x the delay.

Many people take longer than 2 hours to learn how to do simple things on a computer. Especially in the past, when UI wasn't as good, many people had serious trouble using computers. I think we can both agree that computers were a worthwhile technology that was worth spending time learning to use. The fact that playing with these models for 2 hours a week after they came out isn't enough, does not mean that other people, given time, can't use them for crazy things and/or build crazy things around them.
