AI is a tool and is not going to replace artists any time soon.
Proper 3D art generators don't even exist yet. The ones that do are useless toys. We aren't even close to generators that can output anything even close to what a beginner 3D artist can produce.
And yes - it will make sense to physically draw stuff, because it's a much better way to tell the AI what to do. You can massage prompts all day and you will still not get what you want. Providing a pose, depth map, normal map or a reference image gives the AI a lot more information than just a prompt. I don't see that changing any time soon. You simply can't describe every single detail in a propmpt. An even if you could - it's still quicker to make a rough sketch of what you want instead of writing a goddamn novel in the prompt textbox.
