Will be nice to be able to upload a picture/sketch instead of having to sketch something out in the scratchpad. I tend to sketch block diagrams from time to time and hate having to use some tool to draw/drag/align things.
Very cool idea though!
If you already have your own images, you can use the Replicate model directly: https://replicate.com/jagilley/controlnet-scribble -- you can upload your image using the Replicate web UI or do it programmatically using the model's HTTP API.
I don't quite understand why some image generators are free and others charge credits, assuming the non-free ones aren't just goldrushing.
Is it just free until oops it gets too popular?
Of course running on rented/hosted GPU's, it's a simpler, but much more expensive story — basically however much you're paying for GPU instances to run Stable Diffusion divided by how many images you generate. :)

Now trying to decide if this is healthy for kids.... who may lose motivation to ever pursue detailed art and drawing because "AI can do it for me based on rough sketch". But at same time, it may motivate them to make more rough drawings with interesting ideas.
I can see storyboarding for film will make use of this. Although having the characters and background remain consistent from scene to scene is something I don't know how can be done, if every submission is a roll of dice.
