I think this is a disingenuous take. Yes, artists do valuable work and still do. But to say "everyone is able to do art" intentionally misses the point that not everyone is able to do art well enough to communicate intention. If the developer drew a bunch of stick figures, everyone would hate it.
I would like that way way more than anything involving an LLM.
And anyway, while we're talking about the specifics of this game / game dev, this is a popular game. They've made money from it. They can hire an artist.
Or they can use an image model and save money for other areas of the game that are more important? Duh?
