1) Steam hates AI. Steam is at least 80% of the PC market. If you were doing multi-platform, it's just too big of a loss. 2) The indie community is hostile towards AI. Expedition 33 was disqualified for barely any AI use. Even things like brainstorming titles or generating textures will get you exiled. 3) Nano banana tier AI doesn't seem consistent enough to do assets properly. You need to remove the backgrounds. You need to wrestle it into following instructions. It does save time and you can do things like draw 5 guns and have it generate 4 more in the same style, but that's not much better than Diablo 2 recoloring units. 4) While not outright hostile, most people below 20 recognize AI art with a glance. Capsule and ads are immediately indicative of the game being AI slop even if it's not. If you have something AI-looking in the screenshots, people simply move on to the next game. 5) While Elevenlabs produces some impressive sounding audio, they're still not at a voice actor tier. They're only good enough for scaffolding and trigger uncanny valley.
