Not generative AI, if that's what you're implying. Just because companies are offering it for free right now as a loss leader means they're going to keep it free when the accountants come home to roost.

An extra costs $100-$1000. A digital artist's time costs about twice that. A license for a generative AI image will cost at least 4x what it costs to pay the extra, and that's not including the subscription you'll need to pay to access the AI service.
