No one has actually figured out a business for this yet. Sure people are paying small amounts to play around with DALL-E, but it's not a business model, it's basically just a subsidised tech demo at the moment. What will the business model actually be? I imagine there's a market for a stock-photo style service that has a very large number of good images for very diverse topics, but DALL-E etc are a bit low level for that, there's a lot of product development that needs to happen on top of that. A stock photo service doesn't seem to be the sort of thing that Google would get into. Maybe it's an art-helper plugin to image editors? The Stable Diffusion based plugin sounds promising for this, but will _artists_ want to use it? Surely the point of art is (except for art making A Point) that the artist produced it with their talent? If you're not trying to make Art then maybe you need the stock photo service. Perhaps I'm just not very imaginative, but I can't think of any use-cases that aren't either extremely niche, or are better served by a higher level style service that happens to use a model like this under the hood.
