I’m not dismissing it, and that doesn’t address the point at all compared to AI. It isn’t that technique isn’t important, it’s just far less of what you learn as an artist compared to the theory. Photography has its own advanced techniques just like all artforms.
You did dismiss it by claiming it was a small part compared to what a photographer has to learn.
Ai doesn’t do anything without prompting. You need all the same art knowledge to prompt an AI to create an image. In another reply here I compared it to a film director. Film directors don’t say the lines, do the cinematography, create the sets, costumes, or anything else. They only prompt others do do what is in their mind until it satisfies their artistic viewpoint.
My experience with AI art is extremely limited. I got garbage out. I’ve seen good AI art so there is skill to prompting in the same way a photographer uses skill but has a machine that actually creates the art.
Everything you said about photography also applies to painting AND it requires the physical skill that you dismiss as trivial.

Repeating it does not make it so. There are no AI art colleges.
