What place should generative AI have in indie game development?
I want to say that it could have a place but on second thought maybe it couldn't. I admit it can help devs to visualize things and generate stuffs to assist development however I'm afraid it could make devs addicted and be lazy. OTOH if the devs tried to say draw images or concepts for their games themselves, it will train their brain to think and visualize.
Do you think we should avoid using AI in game development when possible? Or embrace it as part of the creative process?
It's hard for me to accept the latter because using generative AI means not being creative yourself.
I think the only reason to use generative AI in game development is to make prototypes in faster time. But even so, using crappy self made stuffs is still possible for that.
