I think there will always be places where quality is appreciated and prefered above slop. The problem (in some sense but as you said we can still clearly see when AI was used) is that it becomes all the more difficult to spot the use of it. But the problem is not you and I. The problem is people who cannot spot the difference. But in the end, I think, it is more subjective in the sense that I feel I cannot compete with it, not that I should even compete, but what it can do is something incredible (not in a good sense).
Sorry for the late reply, and sorry for the strange reply. As I tried to note in the post, my writing has been affected by the whole AI movement, and I am again relearning how to walk (metaphorically).
