What does integrating AI into your workflow actually mean?

I've been reading a lot of thoughts around here on AI and the future of graphic design as a career and there seem to be 2 types of opinions:

  1. AI technology is not a big deal and won't take your job

  2. If you don't start integrating AI into your workflow you will die

But, just what exactly does "integrating AI into your workflow" mean?

I ask this from a place of genuine curiosity and desire to learn.

Currently I'm only doing editorial and brand design inhouse and I don't see how to integrate AI to put me ahead of all these designers that will supposedly be left out of a job because they didn't embrace it.
