I’m not criticizing it because it’s not useful. I’m criticizing it because it is not art, and it is anti-humanist.

Who said it's art? It's new and cool and fascinating. That's all.

Contrary to what you wrote, these AI-generated ones aren't replacing the originals. The originals are still there.

Sorry, but I think you're reading way too much into this... it's a fun toy, it's not replacing game art and it's not an "abomination". It's cool and new. That's all.

Of course it is art. The thing that makes it art is the human thought process and intention, regardless of how the final result turns out.

Oh, and the pictures look like shit.
