I use AI as a tool to help improve the game's visuals and better convey characters' emotions. It's also been incredibly helpful for remaking older content and bringing it closer to the quality I'm aiming for today.
I understand why some people are skeptical about AI, and I think those concerns are valid when it's used carelessly or as a shortcut. In my case, though, I use it as part of my workflow to improve the overall quality of the game, not as a replacement for the work that goes into creating it.
