Replying to myself because I just had a chat with him about this. He's thinking of getting a high end GPU now, lol.
Some ideas of how this could be useful in the future to assist artists:
Quickly fleshing out design mockups/concepts is the obvious first one that you can do right now.
An AI stamp generator. Say you're working on a digital painting of a flower field. You click the AI menu, "Stamp", a textbox opens up and you type "Monarch butterfly. Facing viewer. Monet style painting." And you get a selection of ai generated images to stamp into your painting.
Fill by AI. Sketch the details of a house, select the Fill tool, select AI, click inside one of the walls of the house, a textbox pops up, you write "pre-war New York brick wall with yellow spray painted graffiti"
