I know multiple people who have ideas for children's books but don't really want to actually produce one in the current system. Easy to understand why people don't follow through creating children's books - it's hard and not very lucrative. Creating a children's book is usually a money losing proposition - most books aren't published and most published books don't sell very well.
Imagine taking the cost of illustrating a children's book from 10k USD (plus who knows how much time) to paying a 10 dollar per month fee to create unlimited illustrations? What would that enable? How many more children's books would get produced? How much more happiness for children and would be authors?
My mother used to tell us stories about characters she had made up. With a little more time, if this technology existed, she could have illustrated her stories and shown them to us. Or, if this technology gets invented tomorrow, I could create generate the illustrations from what I remember of my mom's stories and share it with her. Why wouldn't I want this? Because professional illustrators would be devalued?
Let's not forget the children who lack interesting content or concerned parents who would create it for them. These kids could benefit from a reddit or imgur of children's books and get an infinite scroll of content. If software becomes good enough the infinite scroll could be generated automatically.
