Anyone who has used AI to create images knows it is no mean feat to coax it into creating a replica of the image you envision. [my emphasis]

When you click the generate button, AI might generate an interesting visual, but it usually won’t look anything like the visual you had in mind. 

AI has its limitations. To create the picture you wish takes a lot more than entering one line of text and the click of a generate button.

The majority of artists using AI to generate work don’t use the one-click fix to create their art.

They have a practice that is time-consuming and complex, which allows them to create the specific style and visuals they envision."

Given, what you say was absolutely correct, this would be nowhere represented in the final result.
there is nowhere to know, if you tweak every detail by pick and choose or take the first result.
The damage that AI has already done, is severe. It has destroyed trust into art.
The process of creating those AI images is undesputable. A software does it for you.
Even if you tell your AI-friend a thousand times how to create an image for you.
There is that disconnection between the result and the intend with generative AI.
Because it is NOT you, who is directly involved in the artistic process, you are "only" the idea provider.
Quiz question:
Who created the sistine chappell ceiling fresco?
Michelangelo
or 
Pope Julius II. (because he has been the one ordering it)?
And yes, I do see that very black and white.
