If there was an AI that licensed every bit of art/code/etc that it trained on, then I think I would be fine if they used it. BUT, I’d never think their final product was ever a more than just a madlibs of other people’s work, cobbled together for cheap commercial consumption. My time is worth something, and I’m not spending a minute of it on AI generated crap when I could be spending it on the product of a true author, artist, coder, craftsman. They deserve my dollar, not the AI company and their ai-using middle man who produced shit with it.
I mean they mostly used it for textures, right? Those are often generated from a combination of noise and photography, it’s not like they were building the game out of lego bricks of other people’s art.
I don’t see how it’s significantly different than sampling in music, it’s just some background detail to enhance the message of the art.
Obviously modern AI is a nightmare machine that cannot be justified, but I could imagine valid artistic uses for the hypothetical AI you described.
