hating art? AI art is still 'art'. hence the inclusion of the word 'art'. and it has various 'styles'. as to it being lifeless, that is why I say it is not quite ready yet. but dismissing the idea offhand is just silly.
Mira has said they were just placeholder images left over from her attempt at a Unity game. I am not suggesting she switch entirely to AI either, but rather have an AI bot (with proper training) generating images she approves and edits. It would still have her touch and style.
Most conversations on AI generated images (not calling it art) always boils down to using it to replace artists with computers. It's by definition a position of disdain of Art and artists. Plus not even getting into how the library of images AI usually generates from are many times, at best, being uncredited, and at worst downright stolen.
Even in this case scenario, of just Mira using a model themselves, where no jobs are lost, and the art library would in theory only be from her, I still wouldn't support it because Mira's style is unique with intention that an AI just wouldn't get. And sure you can edit the images,
I will give a bit of leeway and saying if you edit an AI image, you are more of an artist because you are at least adding intention and life back into the piece, but I like Art and Artists creating original art.
Like just because I can create something in a hero character generator, doesn't mean it's art. It's a generated image using premade assets. Sure I can give it specific criteria for what I want it to generate, but it's not art.
But at the end of the day, it's up to her for what she decides to do. I'd just say I would be majorly turned off to the game if they went the way of generating AI images, since it appealed to me on it's own ground with it's own style and life to it.
