It also pushed art to the niche. Painted images explicitly for children has been a massive industry for decades- also one that mature AI generative art could absolutely dominate. I'd love to see this technology aimed at concept art for games. I don't think this would hurt employed concept artists, I do think it will be a tool concept artists can use to quickly thumbnail significantly more versions of a vision. That artist will then refine the results into something supremely engaging to humans. Really I see this as an incredible tool for artists to help refine truly innovative ideas.
