No more creativity. No more innovation. Nothing new. Nothing unexpected. Just endless, endless churning of the same parts in to pseudo-random configurations. Long strings of numbers masquerading as creativity.
You have a better point with what you said in another comment about the economic side of it, that once it reaches a commercial level it'll massively reduce the demand for particular forms of skilled labor in a way that will hurt a lot of people. Because that's true, and the tech is extremely dangerous for that reason.
The idea that creativity is contained exclusively in the specific technical abilities that will be commercially devalued by the tech is not a good point, however. The threat of AI art is entirely economic (except for the danger of advanced photo/video-editing/mimicking AIs, which are an entirely different sort of threat), because it will still rely on human initiative and guidance. So far as creativity and art goes it doesn't make a difference whether the creative process is the brain working out how to make the hands create a mimicry of an image that it contains inside itself using a brush or stylus, or if the process is the brain working out how describe what it sees to a machine in order to create that mimicry and then applying other technical skills to shape that to more closely match what it wants. I can only assume that as it gets more advanced the ways of providing it inputs will also get more advanced (integrating posing 3d dummies to provide another data point for it to work from, for example), to the point that making it output things that aren't just random slop and hoping it's somewhat close to what one wants becomes a technical skill of its own.
I don't even see it as a threat of losing those technical skills, because there are mountains of texts trying to teach people to translate images in their head into images on paper, outlining training exercises and describing different methods. Although I'm also not as convinced AI will obviate the technical abilities involved in art to the point that it stops being a thing, although it will probably siphon off a huge chunk of would-be illustrators who'll never learn to draw and instead learn how to manipulate the AI and edit its results to get what they want instead.
