Fan boy, fan boy, what you gonna do when reality will come catch you ?You know this is a spiritual argument that does not really have any basis in reality.
DALLE-2 can't build humans correctly, and you expect me to not see the difference between VN CGs made by a human and the ones made by it ?If I showed you images from DALLE-2 and images from a real artist you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
And what this have to do with visual novel games ?AI is just a tool, using AI to create art imparts no less emotion than using a digital editor vs paining it on paper.
You only look at the result, while what matters here is the intent. Yes, AI are near to be able to generate images that will make you feel emotions, and not far to be able to generate images that will make you feel this or that emotion.
But it's not what is expected from it when it come to VN CGs. What is expected is for it to show the character having this emotion, having this intent, and having this behavior. Then to progressively build all this meaning through a succession of CGs.
An AI should first be able to generate a face that will show a bit of sadness behind a faked smile. To generate a character that will show his/her conflicting thoughts by the dissonance between his/her facial expression and his/her body language. And obviously, to generate character bodies that will be fully consistent through the thousands of needed CGs.
It's only then, so in a far future, that people making games with real porn pictures will be able to switch to AI generated CGs. But it will not change the fact that human made ones will still be way superior and accurate.
And like anyway DALLE-2 isn't even capable to generate a human body that effectively looks like human bodies...
Do you even understand why creating a CG need time ?What it will allow to happen is for an artist to create 100 character images in the time that it would take them to make 1.
You don't just throw a figure on a location, put some piece of closing, then choose a pose and an expression that approximately match what is expected. This, anyone can do it, and it need 2 minutes, plus the 5 minutes needed to render the scene at average quality. Since DALLE-2 need around one minute for a batch of 10 512x512 images, he'll not have finished its batch of 100 1920x1080 images when the "artist" have finished to build his single image.
But anyway, as I said it's not how you create a CG. This is just the first step, the base on which you'll build your image. What need time is what come after. The step back, to let you the time to feel the image. The back and forth in the tweaking of the pose and expression, to reach the right feeling. Not just the one carried by the image, but also the one the viewer have. An artist don't know when his CG is finished, he feel when it is.
