In one sense it's kind of like a much "smarter" photoshop filter, where it can make your own art/photos look more like what you want (ex: Van Gogh, Dali, Picasso, or combinations of those, or something completely weird/new/different).

You could also train the models on your own work and have it generate art in your own style that could inspire you or could be useful to you either as a base to work from or that you could take interesting elements from to create new art.

Similar things can be done in music, by the way, and that would be really useful to musicians too.

Poets could use something like this to create poetry, novel writers to write novels, etc..

This is really an improvement on the collaboration potential between humans and computers -- which is probably why it's called "Accomplice".

i.e. The ability to easily take your logo and stylize it: https://accomplice.ai/@adam/iterations/2bcc90ad-3237-486a-8d...

Create a photorealistic avatar whenever you need it: https://accomplice.ai/@adam/iterations/988b7d54-dc39-43b1-b5...

Easily remove the background of a photo: https://accomplice.ai/models/97746c4b-c6f0-49cb-ae1b-859716b...

Upscale a photo: https://accomplice.ai/models/bd4619ee-8202-4cf0-a04e-291820f...

Etc etc. AI can make all this stuff easier. And you have a sense of ownership over what you create. All in one place where you can collaborate on all of it with your team. I feel like that's valuable. It's certainly a tool I've always wanted.

But, also, as a bit of an aside – if the Googles and OpenAIs of the world are just going to bite every artist's style anyway with a mostly black box service and training set… it feels like the option for an artist to train/finetune their own model, promote it and possibly make money off of that is worth trying.
