You’re not wrong, but honestly I cbf to blow my entire savings account on a project that isn’t guaranteed to get a good ROI or get me hired somewhere.
It’s not that I’m unsympathetic for artists, I just don’t have the “value” to give to those artists in the first place. But nonetheless, projects need to be fleshed out one way or another, and programmer art doesn’t cut it.
I find that fair actually (maybe if I was a visual artist I’d feel differently) - I can at least respect that you are willing to acknowledge that even if you have your reasons, it’s still a devaluation.
And by using AI you do neither of those things, and devalue the work of those who do make those things.
