Not really, no. Firstly, such image-generation models are based on mathematical concepts (it's literally math all the way down). I don't see the problem you raise about artistic jobs, because it doesn't seem like they're disappearing anytime soon. It's not the AI model that'll replace artists, but other artists using the AI models.

Also, could you please cite your statement about "extremely similar images" being created?
