One of my college graphic design teachers was an old man who had been doing commercial art since the 60s. He'd tell us about how there used to be one guy who handled the colours, one guy who handled the lettering, a photographer or illustrator, and an art director overseeing them all. We're not even going to get into the copywriter, creative directors, ane printers.

Then adobe and computers came in and now one guy will handle all those jobs on a single project. And that one guy is paid a lot less than any single individual would've been.

The AI doesn't remove the need for an artist or designer, you seem to always need someone who knows what they're actually doing in order to get reliable results from the AI. What it will probably do is allow a creative to work on a wider variety of projects and reduce the amount of paid creative work that's available to professionals.
