This is the right way to think about this IMO. Wouldn’t it be amazing if tools like this massively increased the scope of what is possible for a single artist?
Something I think about a lot is video game creation - what if AI tools let you quickly create 3D objects and a world without a big, dedicated team of artists?

Humorously, the narration on that video also sounds like an AI. The rising inflection on nearly every clause almost sounds like they’re recording every sentence separately
It’s similar to how photography grants anyone the technical ability to render a photo-realistic image, but the majority of photos we see are easily discarded from memory. It did put painters out of the portrait business, but also freed them from a realist ideal.
There is a long runway of human guided ai generation. Imagine if a single human was able to produce an entire animated TV show and all it took was good story telling skills without requiring 100 animators.
