How long will it take before the role of "prompter" is transferred to an agent?

Seeing as nodes and more artist-integrated methods of AI integration haven’t been prioritized as the most crucial part of AI in the realm of “art” or visual creation, and word-bases prompting continues to be the hyper-focus of these technologies, how long should we assume word-based prompting will be only in the hands of artists who would be doing this work with or without AI tools? 

In simple terms: how long can we expect for humans to be in the role of “prompter” before it switches to an agentic AI team working exclusively for managers? 

Why should artists trust that word-based prompting, which utilizes only a small amount of their skills and has no tactile inputs, won’t be given at some point to agents? 

The imagination behind these “tools” seems to be geared more for shareholder profits versus tools to empower truly amazing art that comes from the hands of an artist. 

Prove me wrong by getting nodes in place, sketch and overlay marker integration, lighting tools, preview drafts that don’t cost credits, tools that create patterns based off the artist’s work versus a word-prompt… if we don’t add some imagination to these tools, and stay locked in to primarily word-based workflows, there’s absolutely no reason to trust that the market won’t do what it always does: cut costs to maximize profits. When are the artists getting cut?
