The tricky part is learning how to get the right words for things you want, like camera angles or certain body poses. You need to build up a glossary of terms.
Even drawthreads seem like a waste of time now request wise - why wait for a drawing that might never come, and then what if the art is really mid? Coulda just genned it, moreover there are so many Loras now even for obscure characters.
I can totally understand why there are so many AI generals on so many boards - because it gets the job done. There are 7 /sdg/ threads on /e/ right now, vs one drawthread that will last something like six months with hardly any artists in it, and when someone does come around, all I see is artwork that is mogged by AI.
I've had more fun genning and requesting in AI threads in the last few months.
I've also run some of my older drawings through AI to see what it could do with them, nothing short of amazement - it takes my base idea and turns it into a masterpiece. I do not feel ashamed that I was beaten by the machine. I will now embrace it.
All the power to the real artists who can put in the time, effort and practice on learning how to draw for reals - some of us simply don't have the time nor the right brain chemistry to make it work and commit to it as needed to become good.
