Dude, I feel you.
I invented a physical card game last year, and I decided I needed to subscribe to ChatGPT to allow me to get the AI generated artwork in order to print out some physical test cards. Without that AI artwork filler, I would have been stuck with either using regular playing cards, my own shoddy stick-man artwork, or paying an artists $100s to get the real deal.
Then earlier this year I discovered the AI agents that code for us. I subscribed to Replit and spent $1000 of my savings on building my card game online and turning it into a proper PvP card battle game. Without Replit, I would then just have my basic prototype cards.
