The same way the advent of Adobe Illustrator has led to innovation in the way that creative professionals work, I earnestly believe that AI will do the same (contrary to the popular opinion that it represents some regression in the world of creatives).
@natalika and I were speaking about this topic and like most illustrators she has some understandable concerns about the spread of AI in her field. She also told me how much time she spends generating concept art that will never see the light of day in >98% of cases. 💡
To me, that sounded like a perfect opportunity to leverage image diffusion in a way that helps artists spend more time creating cool stuff rather than just malevolently mining their work and using it without credit. Using the Black Forest Labs base model FLUX, Replicate, and about $5 of H100 compute, I post-trained a LoRA adapter on a set of her images associated with one project she's working on and spun up an app with Hugging Face Spaces (and Zero GPU for the win).
I give you, Natalie Diffusion: ZennyKenny/natalie-diffusion
Now, generating concept art in her particular style takes seconds instead of hours and when it's time to put the work into production, a human designer is still invaluable. And building it in the open hopefully inspires other use cases amongst other designers. 🖖
