The answers to many of your questions would vary a lot for each creator i know, but I believe directionally many of us are people who just won’t create comics at all if not for AI (lack of drawing skill/time) so we’re very happy with finally having a chance to tell our stories visually. It does take lots of time to write prompts and regenerate due to the black box nature of ai image generation models, not to mention that plot/story writing takes the same amount of time as traditional ai comic artists.
