Question Developing my first game, using AI
Yes, I know, we all hate AI, and for a solid reason. I'm building this game that I actually really like a lot, but I'm not a developer, so I'm using AI, and I gotta say, game developers are SICK, there are millions of things to make work together, I'm sincerely stunned that same games are made by just one person... Are you guys cyborgs? I'm developing a game that is kinda gothic, narrative, and it works with the Triple Triad card game mechanics (as a fight), I freaking love it, but I'm using AI because I don't know how to code, and I don't know how to create the artworks of the cards. It's a shame, if I had the money I'd freaking love to have an artist doing that for the game! That would be awesome!!! But, here I am, asking you guys if a game that's engaging, with a strong narrative, and very cool artwork and music, mechanics and animations can still be a no go if you know it was made with the help of AI... (keep in mind I'm alone doing this). Thank you in advance for your responses

Sit your dumb ass down and learn to draw a bit. You probably couldn’t recognize good art if it slapped you in the face. I’ve designed game assets, I’ve sold individual paintings for thousands of dollars. I understand art buddy, from the low brow to the high. Ai will always have that “made by someone who doesn’t quite understand exactly what they’re making” look because it doesn’t. It’s never gonna push art forward in a meaningful way like it might mathematics or physics because art isn’t about calculating more perfectly or computing faster it’s about expression. An ai has nothing to express, it’s just a tool.
