(hot take) if I'm doing a 100% solo game dev project, I'd use AI to fill in the gaps in my skills such as audio/sprites. I'd like to replace them with later, but sometimes settling with less than perfect is okay. And yeah those parts might kinda suck but, it's a balance between time and effort. - ThreadSky

I honestly and vehemently believe generative AI is not ready for the public to use. I don't know if it will be. Your point about placeholder pieces is reasonable, if no human-made royalty free audio and stock illustrations exist to set the right tone in your game. For marketing graphics though? Nah.

I don't feel as icky about AI assets if I know they'll be replaced with human-made content as soon as possible. I still think about how resource intensive AI tools are to run, and how the generated images are taking little bits of a lot of artist's work without their knowledge. Ethically, I hate it.

Yeah the datasets used are scummy at best, which raises more general privacy concerns.

Think these tools were given to the public waaay too early with little thought of the implications. Plus the advertised uses are, just terribly unethical.

People took on great power without great responsibility.

agreed, the ethics of it are the big thing

this should really only be in laboratories and research centers to be studied, not for the public
