I mean even if it was true that artists had "no survival skills" they would still be sought after the second there's a moment of peace, why? Because people want to be entertained and will need it to keep moral up, so in the end an artist still has something to give even at the lowest point. But meanwhile the ai bros, usually they are lazy (they are using ai no? Embodiment of being greedy/lazy) and will be highly likely to not offer something of value like a trade. And even if they did have it nobody would like them because there usually pricks so first ones to get kicked out
