What people ALWAYS miss is that AI can augment people. This AI is still a tool, and, with it, designers and illustrator can churn out better images faster than before, even without using stock images. It's important to note that we still need professionals to guarantee the quality of the output from AIs, including this one. As noted in their issue tracker, DALL-E has very specific limitations, but these can be easily solved by employing dedicated professionals, who are trained to tame the AI and properly finish the raw output. So, if I were running OpenAI, I'll clearly be experimenting with how their AIs and human interact, and build a training program around it for producing practical outputs. (Actually, I work in consumer robotics, and human adoption has been the biggest hurdle here. Thus, my claim here.) -- In case of fine art, thou, I don't think they'll not get hit by this AI advancement. The biggest problem is that you simply can't get the exact image you want wit this AI. Even humans cannot transfer visual information in verbal form without a significant loss of details, thus a loss of quality. It's the same with AI, but, worse, because AI rely on the bias in a specific set of training data, and it never truly understands the human context in it (in the current level of technology).
