While i certainly respect your interactivity and subsequent force multiplayer nature of AI, this doesn't mean you should try to emulate an already given piece of work. You'll certainly gain a small dopamine when you successfully copy something but it would also atrophy your critical skills and paralyze you from making any sort of original art. You'll miss out on discovering the feeling of any frontier work that you can truly call your own.
Claims of productive boosts must always be inspected very carefully, as they are often perceived, and reality may be the opposite (eg spending more time wrestling the tools), or creating unmaintainable debt, or making someone else spend extra time to review the PR and make 50 comments.
There's no chatbot. You can use image-to-image, ControlNets, LoRAs, IPAdapters, inpainting, outpainting, workflows, and a lot of other techniques and tools to mold images as if they were clay.
I use a lot of 3D blocking with autoregressive editing models to essentially control for scene composition, pose, blocking, camera focal length, etc.
Here's a really old example of what that looks like (the models are a lot better at this now) :
for an 2011 account that's a shockingly naive take
yes, AI is a labor capital multiplier. and the multiplicand is zero
hint: soon you'll be competing not with humans without AI, but with AIs using AIs
"OK, so I lost my job, but even adjusting for that, I can launch so many more unfinished side-projects per hour now!"
But to be more in the spirit of your comment, if you've used these systems at all, you know how many constraints you bump into on an almost minute to minute basis. These are not magical systems and they have plenty of flaws.
Real creativity is connecting these weird, novel things together into something nobody's ever seen before. Working in new ways that are unproven and completely novel.

It's ostensibly doing things you asked it, but in terms dictated by its owner.
and it's even worse than that: you're literally training your replacement by using it when it re-transmits what you're accepting/discarding
and you're even paying them to replace you
Do you know anything about "Hollywood grade VFX" ? Have you ever worked for any company that does it?
No more nepotism in Hollywood
Do you think "Hollywood VFX" is full of nepotism?
As a filmmaker, my friends and I are getting more and more done as well:

As long as humans are driving, I see AI as an exoskeleton for productivity:

It's been tremendously useful for me, and I've never been so excited about the future. The 2010's and 2020's of cellphone incrementalism and social media platformization of the web was depressing. These models and techniques are actually amazing, and you can apply these techniques to so many problems.
I genuinely want robots. I want my internet to be filtered by an agent that works for me. I want to be able to leverage Hollywood grade VFX and make shows and transform my likeness for real time improv.
Apart from all the other madness in the world, this is the one thing that has been a dream come true.
As long as these systems aren't owned by massive monopolies, we can disrupt the large companies of the world and make our own place. No more nepotism in Hollywood, no more working as a cog in the labyrinth of some SaaS company - you can make your own way.
There's financial capital and there's labor capital. AI is a force multiplier for labor capital.
