There are a lot of assumptions here about how an artist uses the AI tools. Suddenly artists stop fussing and planning and sketching and mocking and drafting and redrafting and polishing until the work is perfect and communicates their intent in the way they need, and turn into completely different people. When a person just tosses a prompt at an LLM and accepts the result, you would be hard pressed to call them an artist.

So the artist simply accepts the AI generated wooden house. Might it be possible that he does not?

Furthermore, before AI, artists also used assets that came from other creators, accepting them wholesale. No intention, then?

The issue I see here is that we're judging the tool, not the artist.

It reminds me so much of the digital photography backlash. But here we are.
