If you are commercial digital-painting illustrator or 3d illustrator artist, this is the moment to invest your time in other field. It is over. Some will say that this 'tool' will help you in your creative process. In my obviously "biased" view, in the next 2-3 years, this will lower your monetary reward in half and create more requirements for competition with AI. People already are comparing DALL-E with human results. In the long run, the software industry will eat itself to oblivion. Greed has no boundaries, and optimization of costs for corporations will never stop. Some of my art related colleagues saw this 'trend' early and pivoted to crafts with added value for customers in the real world. On the oil painting side (which I am at) I don't feel any form of pressure, I paint for myself as a therapy. So, good luck:)
