I assume it is a bit more nuanced than this, but still...
People are being brainwashed to like AI TRASH already,kinda funny you can make your own AI TRASH without needing EK to bring that shit to this game.
It depends on what part of the game would be replaced by "AI TRASH" and how anyone, be it creator or fan uses the technology, stable diffusion and other ML tools (insert capslock, exclamation marks, emoji or more wrongly used term at your own pleasure) can definitely streamline parts of the production process.
it would just drastically reduce the quality
Overall, you just have low standards. Good for you, there are already tons of generic fast food games vomited by ai "artists" and "game designers" but stop pushing that suicidal idea that all games should swing that way.
This also depends on your overall opinion and standards of quality. If you think that the by hand traces of in some cases pretty obvious porn images (to the point that the deviants in this forum can find them withing a few minutes sometimes even from memory), a bit of stop motion animation of PS layers and outsourced shading is Rembrandt's - The Night Watch compared to what stable diffusion can do after a bit of tinkering by TigerAce on a training model, more power to you.

I find these tools interesting and trying them out over the small waiting period between updates more interesting and rewarding then the discussion: "When Ivy is going to fuck/marry/kill Stan?!" and "What happened to the original Billy?!" for the 200th time. Or "When update?" And the people who made the fanart rarely post them here (at the start, sure to draw peoples attention), after that there is another thread for it, GrimaGrima and TigerAce (imho) did some great work developing tools and sparked new creation processes, that's it. Just because someone (who didn't create the tools, didn't use the tools or anything) suggested to send them to EK (who can just ignore it - who cares) believing this would speed up the next update doesn't mean diddly. This vitriol is a bit much, but hey we gotta pass the time somehow right...
