you can 'see' almost anything you can type out descriptively enough

Even those people who have difficulties with imagining something visually can use AI image generators somehow. As long as they can write and understand what a sentence means, they can use any sentence as a prompt to get a calculated image. You don't need any artistic talent or phantasy to get started with creating basic artificial images. That's exactly why artists around the world feel their skills are now being devalued by AI generators.
