I think it does not take into consideration how much thought and expertise goes into design work. Have a look at the recent controversy about the live-action shooter "concord" that failed spectacularly mainly due to bad character design. Here are two videos that explain that well. I don't think I would ever be capable of designing with that degree of purpose given a generative AI tool.

Thanks for the links Im glad there are people who are experts at character design. For my untrained eyes it just looks like all of the characters are muddy coloured ( washed out greens brown etc ) AND they are pretty much all incredibly ugly. I think I saw one that atleast looked fashionable, the black sniper female. The older I get the more concerned I get that the larger the team that makes decisions the worse the decisions are, whats the word for this? Is there any escape? Teamfortress 2, took years and teams to build, but it was just perfect. I heard they had a flat structure which is even more confusing as to how they attained such an excellent product.

  Bureaucracy and hierarchy are much more damaging to good products than a large team. The flat structure and long timelines are how they overcame the limitations of a large team.

There is plenty of space between black and white. I have taste just no skill in drawing. I don't need an artist, i need a graphics designer and now i can replace a graphics designer with GenAI. Plenty of Artists can draw very well, but what they learn in the industry is to learn to draw for someone else in an aligned art style etc. That has nothing to do with Art. Very few people earn there living with being artists. Its the same thing with all the other people. Look at masterpieces of woodworkers etc. They look interesting, nice but they normall just work for someone else doing their craft not their art.
