I just talked with a designer who started to use one, and that's basically how it will be. I can't become a designer if you gave me my own personal midjourney access, like even if I had midjourney on my own discord server and use it as much as I want with no limitations, I would not be a designer, I would be better than who I am now, but won't be as good as designers.
However, give a designer access to it? And they could definitely use that as a tool for amazing products and art, because they know what they are doing with it. Same goes with everything that is AI related, it is not to replace people, it's there to be a tool for the people and that's how it will be.
Yes, it's simply a better tool to create things.
For example, let's say you work at a newspaper. Instead of writing a whole article about something, you can ask an AI to write it and then you just edit it a bit and fact check it.
Same or better results, but way faster to create.
The same if you're a graphics designer. Instead of starting from scratch you can generate multiple starting points, and then fine tune the one design closer to what you had in mind.
Same for a software developer, automate all the mundane code with an AI, and simply edit and check the source code.
No need to start from scratch, people will be way more efficient with these tools.
