MODERATORS
I think this is going to hit like in other industries like programming, and disproportionately affect new artists, artists that are themselves still learning what they like.
Some "tech forward" artists will try to not fight the wave, start using AI, and their drawing skills will never develop, leaving them dependent on it with a ceiling to what they can produce.
Other artists will be blocked and they can never jump from the high-school doodle to one-shot to series steps because the quality curve will become a 90° wall.
Other artists like Inio Asano or similarly innovative newcomers who are just legitimate geniuses will break through, because AI can't come close to having so innovative or compelling authorial or artistic voice.
