This example shows how you can make a drawing with stick figures and then run that through img2img with a prompt to make some art that looks artistic. The model is able to understand what the stick figures represent and then make real art in their place. People often stack output so they take the output of img2img and run it through again to let the style drift more while maintaining the original locations. You can also quickly and poorly photoshop multiple image elements together to form a composite, then pass that through img2img to make something nice.
I am well and truly jaded from decades of silicon valley's hype train bullshit, but after playing with this tool for a week on my home desktop, I feel like it is powerful enough to find a niche that will displace some artists. It may be though that it makes art so much more accessible that it mostly just increases our use of art, I don't really know.
