I think DALL-E will end up more as a tool to provide inspiration for artists as opposed to one that will replace them. I can see AI working the same way in other mediums in the future (music ideas for musicians, for example).

Just as an artist starts with an outline and iteratively refines, so too will these tools enable such workflows for complete novices. You'll be able to create an illustration in ten minutes exactly as you'd like, without the artist's five hours of work and ten thousand hours of practice. Unlike an artist, you'll have thousands of paths to choose from at your fingertips.
Illustrators are about to go the way of basket weavers, crocheters, and elevator attendants. This isn't like photography where you need to hire someone for your event. Illustration is offline, async, and now it can be done for fractions of pennies.
