few things make me sadder about genAI use than people who think they "can't draw" making images with it that they use in their creative work.
if you are in that category and we ever find ourselves sharing physical space, let this represent my personal offer to coach you on sketching simple shapes on paper or in free digital tools that you can use in these circumstances. it's slower and the results might be less "polished", but it's a skill you can develop and use for your whole life
