Not a professional graphic designer, but did some graphic design classes and photography/photo editing classes in college, and still do it as a hobby.
Things that at one time took days can now be done in minutes with some skillful use of Dall-E + Photoshop. IMO, any image editing software that incorporates a similar technology will take over the market and it'll be one of the most important features in any graphic designer's toolkit.
A talented graphic designer who can also use a dall-e like tool is worth at least 5x the pay of one who can't (although I don't think we're going to get a "prompt engineer" title, it's really not that difficult a skill to pick up for people who already do image editing).
