I feel it too, the idea of rent seeking in the least difficult part of the process. But people calling themselves prompt engineers (without irony) is at least amusing, like a sanitation expert or a maintenance engineer.
Don't worry. People who can actually paint will mercilessly attack the insecurities of anyone who is too serious about prompts. The artists hardly made money before and the AI will just take more off the table. All they (we) will have left is spite.
