I mean AI art is for sure super samey and plagiarized and uninteresting stylistically It's instantly recognizable and makes most indie games that disclose it just dead on arrival

Exactly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47229458 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47229458 You should consider that there is a rather large gulf between low-effort crap and using agentic LLMs to make more sophisticated games faster before you downvote me. It's just not black and white, and to treat it as such devalues the conversation.

  ofc there’s a spectrum in LLM usage, but the usage scenario of LLMs as a “supervised force multiplier” (paraphrasing your linked comment) isn’t how most near anyone uses them. I can’t imagine gamedev is any different. what a vast majority of LLM usage appears to me is as a unsupervised slop multiplier. any social media platform, including hacker news is rife with a deluge of unpolished LLM generated turds that creators pass off as their own work when they can’t even explain half of how it works or what it does. circling back with gamedev specifically and art more generally. sure if LLMs are just one part of the process to push out some grander, well thought out vision who am I to really care. again thought, that isn’t what I see. I only see untalented lazy “excommunicated devs” passing off the most bottom of the barrel trash as “games”

That's just it: you don't know this. You're speculating from within your confirmation bias bubble. Everything you're saying is completely anecdotal.

  not at all true depending on what you ask for it might generate something 99% as similar as an existing artist
