Hi Louis, nice to have you chime in on this. I have looked at your stuff and you actually start from a real drawing and apply a finish with the AI. For me, you're doing 70%-80% of the job and the AI is applying a final touch. Kudos!
As I said before AI slop is still slop. It needs the human touch to make it special. Quality first is my Motto. It's is known that a lot of AAA games companies have been making flops lately, I suspect a lot of their employees are not actually good at their job. AI give Indies a tool to create a full game in less time with more quality. It makes us compete better. I could bet money that the big studios are already using AI, but they have plausible deniability since they have art teams that can do the art. I suspect many employees there are keyboard warriors who bully small indies that use AI. They actually want your game to look like it was made in the 80s. Either that, or the trolls are mediocre indie creators with a crab in the bucket mentality. If they spend their day roasting other, they are not crafting games in the meantime! That's the point!
Thanks for the feedback on my game, I would also love to network with like minded creator. I will be following you.

Agree, and pleased to meet you! :)
There's a ton of people who post everything they do with AI, instead of posting only the best. But there's already also a ton of people who post every draft, every photo, and every spot of paint they do.
The state of this reminds me when everyone got a digital camera and was all day shooting photos, or later when everyone got a camera on the phone, and everyone was putting duck lips and posting every pic they did :D That can be very much more annoying than anything else for everyone and that's so understandable.
But for creative people, this is part of the skills and tools you can have to make things that otherwise may take ages or never be done.
About the kind of people who tolerate zero of generative arts, in my experience, not surprisingly they are never painters. Usually they belong to specific styles (I won't say which to not offend) or never do anything creative. That makes it even more annoying. Also, it seems the more beautiful you do, they feel more angry, even if you are not doing their style or genre at all.
Again, I think a filter is great, to isolate ourselves from that people, and they from us.
