take a look at the game art and tell me this has merit. maybe they'll learn their craft now.
Take a look at MOST game art, AI or otherwise, and tell me it;s great. Some is, sure, some AI art is great. Sturgeons law applies. If hew had not used AI and had used shitty derivative stock pixel art or something that would not be better
AI art is never more than mediocre and barely serviceable. People who craft mediocre game art have at least the potential to get better.
Have you tried not being wrong?
LLMs will support artists at tedious tasks to save time during production, they'll craft the important things and the LLM will fill in the gaps. Look at SpeedTree, its already in use in thousand of games and it generates plant models that have never seen a human touch, no one cared, and it is a matter of time until machine learning will enhance their algorithm.
If an artist cannot render the output they desire and needs the LLM for more than help with tedious work, like in the game here, it's the wrong tool. The artist will rob themselves of the potential to learn because they took a shortcut to creativity.
You were so close with your first paragraph and then completely wrong with your second
