To be precise, AI is "taking jobs" that could have already been commoditized long ago if people in developing countries understood how Fiverr worked and had set up "art sweatshops" to serve demand.
There's enough art talent already around in the world to entirely commoditize the supply of it for the little one-off no-style-guide-to-follow commissioned works you're talking about. It's just not currently a liquid market — supply and demand find it hard to discover one-another — and so a true market-clearing price can't be set.
Meanwhile, AI is not currently taking anyone's advertising-campaign graphic design job, or anything else where the "efficient-market price" (in a world where human "art sweatshops" existed) would be more than $5.
