“(Not) Actual art” is a bit loaded. I call it “illustration” in this context.

AI can do illustration. Right now it needs a lot of hand holding but it will get better.

It's an awkward phrase but I was trying to stay as close to the original vocabulary as possible. I think the point still stands if you replace "not-actual-art" with illustration. People couldn't get what they were looking for so they paid more for the next best thing. Now they can get something closer to what they're looking for at a lower price.
