Can you explain why would someone pay for this? The price is hidden (sneaky) but with uBlock I see it's $8 or more every month. I can buy any comic from the past 60 years at that price.

That's the point of experiments right? From my own experience, I found these who use image / video generators are mainly in e-comm and advertisement. Only recently creative works (such as YouTubers) start to use these (they were early adopters for audio / speech generation, and lipsync. But image / video generators, even just for YouTube thumbnails are recent phenomenon).

Indeed it's better to buy comics to help real artists pay their bills while their work is "democratised".

To be honest AI comics would not ever be as good as the one from comic artists and this product isn't an alternative to the comic books in real world. This is for the ones who want to explore stories which the traditional comic book artists would probably not put out. The difference here is you get to play the director and the AI is just your companion to paint the picture.
