Can AI help bring abstract ideas to life visually without needing design skills?

I’ve always been more of a “words” person than a visual thinker, but recently I started writing a sci-fi short story and wanted to create a few concept visuals for the setting — space colonies, alien landscapes, that kind of stuff. I tried using a few separate AI art tools, but unless the prompt was super detailed, the images came out totally unrelated. I needed something that could actually understand the story context before generating anything visual.
