These are my thoughts exactly as well. I find it especially infuriating how in some discussions and articles about AI people try to spin a tale of artists being these allegedly elitist "bourgeois" individuals. And with AI now supposedly "the little man" can finally unfold their creative potential. In truth I suspect it's more the other way around.

It looks to me like the only kinds of people who could afford to get into my line of work in the future are people with rich parents or something

Someone from a not so well-off background but with dedication and grit was more likely to get their feet into illustration, für example, then they are now.

Instead people who already probably come from a privileged background (PC, technical knowledge, money to pay for AI credits) can just swarm the market without needing to dedicate much time at all.

I saw a comment on reddit a while back on the topic that I thought really hit the nail on the head in terms of the typical discourse I keep seeing on AI with respect to art and other creative work

“If they [tech bros] don’t value art that's fine, but it’s sad that people who don’t value art are the ones who think they should be deciding what direction art goes in.”
