Yes, but even those can be made better with human work put into them.

Sorry. Nope. Seriously. What do you really want to improve here from a quality standpoint? - I am not talking about style or preference here. This is pretty good from an art and creative point of view that does not require really a lot, if any, refinement. A lot of creatives would kill if they could deliver quality of that level. I know I would.
It would take a lot of artists years to reach this kind of skill and in most cases it does. - proably less if we talk about purely digital work with photobashing, textures and all. But still you're not picking up that kind of quality on the fly. I don't really see what this would require in finishing touches honestly. You could use this and print or release it just as it is no problem, in some art book, concept art page, promotion material, for games or illustration as book cover, you name it. This could be directly taken out of Star Wars, Dune or some other high profile Science Fiction movie and you wouldn't notice the difference if no one told you that it was generated by some bot.
And given the same words, everyone could just as easily create this kind of quality content in the corresponding image generators. And adjust it for their own needs. No human? Put a Robot in. Or Cat. Or what ever. No technical understanding, no skill knowledge in either colour palattes, visual and experience in the tools that are usually used to create this is needed.
But even if that was the case, where it still needs a "human touch", the speed at which this content can be thrown out? I think a lot of people understimate the effect of that and how many work-hours are actaully spend in creating this and how much more efficient the Ai actually makes that whole work process. Alone the the time you don't have to spend on reference material alone is staggering. It is easily the part that can cost you the most time and effort honestly. Once you're really skilled with the technical stuff, photoshop, painting and all, that can be relatively fast a few hours at most for really skilled and productive people. But it's really hard finding the right inspiration and reference material that makes your stuff "pop" so to speak. The increase in efficiency is staggering here. It's like you could do a months worth of work in one day.
You only need to type in the words. Which granted can be fiddly to figure out - but I tried it, it's not rocket science and there are a ton of good tipps out there it's far far easier to figure out than the technical abilities required to the digital tools you would use in photoshop or similar programms. And once that has been figured out and improved enough so the bot understands "you" better? That will be piss easy to do as well. It already works like that with music by the way. Go to ai-art-music websites type in "fantasy/sci-fi/what-ever soundtrack" and get your Ai generated tracks by creating it.

I mean does this AI generated music sound too different from some of the generic crap in Skyrim or Inser-RPG-Game-256433?
Anyone who just right now started to look in to a career as creative? They are fucked.
