... human-made resources are still needed. Besides the questionable quality of AI art that doesn't address all needs, it's purely and simply forbidden within games published on Steam.

How would valve even know that an icon is AI-generated?

  Uncanny valley is in a different place for almost everyone; I've seen proud posters in real life where the eyes didn't match, but also I've shown a friend a Stable Diffusion picture I thought was perfect and yet he knew instantly (and without me telling him) that it was GenAI, because to him all GenAI images look "dead" in a hard to describe way.

    We're talking about small SVG icons. There's no "uncanny valley" to speak of. I chose a random icon on the website to make a test. I generated the following image with dall-e and vectorized it in a couple of clicks in illustrator. https://i.imgur.com/dXWR0Zf.png https://i.imgur.com/dXWR0Zf.png Compare it with https://game-icons.net/1x1/delapouite/skimmer-hat.html https://game-icons.net/1x1/delapouite/skimmer-hat.html Can you honestly tell that one is AI-generated and the other isn't? They're obviously of a very different style, but that's simply because that's what I chose out of the 4 options dall-e offered me.

And if they see AI where they don't want it, or even incorrectly think they do, oh boy can people hate it. > Can you honestly tell that one is AI-generated and the other isn't? Weirdly, the one on imgur does look AI generated to me, and I can't tell you why. Possibly just because I asked a Dall•E and SD for a bit of woodcut style art a while back and the meme is stuck in my mind, possibly something deeper.
