It's really not that good, yet, but it will have a huge impact on a lot of commercial artists.

Really, we're not that many years away from a parent being able to say "an uplifting story about a young girl who conquers he fears of dragons" and having AI write the story, provide all illustrations and add an appropriate musical score as a new bedtime story or animation every night.

That is not going to replace the J.K. Rowlings or the great illustrators of the world, but it is going to raise the bar substantially on what still has commercial value as it will add an almost infinite number of competitors to the market at the lower end.
