I’m in a bunch of amateur game dev communities where it’s just teens and 20-somethings with no spare money, and I see it every single hour of every single day.

The whole “cut of the profits” doesn’t work for artists, because profits of $0 still mean you’re working for free. Most artists won’t oblige that kind of work.

Lots of these guys are using AI for the general concept, and then having other AI clean up the original work, either by turning it into 3D models, or using mixamo to add animations, etc. I know at least 8 of the indie games I’ve bought rather recently on steam use AI in various places, but with someone touching up the work afterwards to hide any defects.

I actually like how it’s bringing indy (TRUE INDY; as in single person) titles much higher quality because the programmers don’t have to be these multi-talented savants.

You’d be surprised at how much AI you’re already gulping down without realizing it’s AI, and how many things you’re saying are AI, that aren’t.
