Fast forward to today and I don't think you can look at the image generation and say "watch out low performing graphic designers".
It's the same attitude everyone has when they hear layoffs are coming. They're too important and too irreplaceable to be laid off, until they're not.

IMO there's two sides of the coin. I think AI is the next level power tool of this generation. Like forcing trades to transition towards standardizing use power tools vs hand tools once upon a time. You'll lose a bunch of roles, but not as many as thought when people just demand more at higher levels of quality/trim in the same period of time.
The other is that AI can IMO potentially become like dealing with an unfocused employee with ADHD.
"AI, how would I approach a marketing draft for this idea?"
"I've subscribed to these online tools for contention creation, created a website and there are current live mock ups of what you requested in color, cartoon and sepia."
"What? I just wanted to rough out an idea for an email."
"Emails are so 16.47 weeks ago."
