Magic: The Gathering

Let’s say they don’t create original artwork, and only/mostly use AI generated artwork. May I ask why it matters? It’s a little cringey to see big corporations are using it, but it’s also silly to assume that programmers used to pay for art for personal projects. In the vast majority of cases, they just avoided pursuing projects that required a lot of artwork. The whole “I wrote a cool indie game and I need an artist; I can’t pay you, but I can give you a share of the profit!!!” meme exists for a reason.

The reverse is also true: artists can use AI to cut out the software dev in their own projects. Shouldn’t that be regarded as a good thing? Devs are expensive right now.
