Gen-AI use is fine if it’s used within good taste and for generating bulk background props and somesuch. It doesn’t make a gamedev any holier or respectable if they torture themselves by hand drawing 1000 unique titles and textures for bookspines for some NPCs bookshelf.

What happened to CC0 assets?? Any problem “”“solved”“” by generative AI already had solutions before.

What if you need or want something custom that doesn’t come from an assetpack or store? Humanity also had solutions for digging holes before excavators came around. “Right tool for the job” is a concept.

Well you just shot your argument in the balls because your original comment talked about “bulk background props and somesuch”, not in-universe unique/important objects that will obviously require custom-made assets from scratch.
And if anything, I’d rather play mindless generic asset flip games than play a single game with AI-generated assets and possibly code as well.

“Things you just made up”
There is no arguing with you people on this issue. AI is just bad and useless on any and all fronts and use cases. and I hate humanity and art apparently.

Welcome to the party, fellow rational person. Enjoy the AI-hate mob that is Lemmy!
