hired artists interpret their client's instructions all the time (concept art, game art, movie art, etc.).
I cannot disagree with this comment any more, I hire creative people to help me to create things which isn't in my skillset. I don't hire them to tell them what I want entirely. Sometimes I'd at least describe what I want, but often they will say, well that's good but how about...
That is a huge part of the value add for me personally. If I knew what I wanted, half the battle would be one, AI or not.
I don't think we disagree. Artists help you turn a relatively short and vague description into a finished artwork. The clients usually already provide very little information in comparison to the number of decisions needed to complete the work (e.g. choosing composition, theme, style, colors, lighting, etc.).
Working from vague prompts is exactly what the current AIs do. Follow up questions and ability to do precise edits are likely next steps in the evolution.
