Totally disagree with banning A.I. from gaming products or anything else.
Taking a stand against A.I.is a form of virtue signaling. This always backfires as pretenders will be plentiful. Be very suspicious of this bandwagon. Pay no attention to organizations, awards, and accolades that claim to be pure. Don't believe me? Just wait for the scandals.
If I couldn't draw, I'd be using it. Why spend money on art when you don't have to? Of course, there is the cost of subscribing to A.I. -- I have no idea how much this is. It will come down to is it cheaper or not. Probably is cheaper. Much. And of course A.I. artists will emerge, experts in producing high quality stuff...
I've never played around with A.I. -- I suspect it's a massive time sink (fun or not) and no doubt I'd eventually feed my own art into it to see what I could "draw." Why should I draw, when A.I. can draw what I would draw, only better?
Pandora's Box has been been opened, that genie's out of the bottle... forever.
I see a lot of truly phenomenal A.I. art online... just scan Pinterest. Admittedly, most A.I. art right now is a bit flawed, little mistakes here and there, and, it has a certain "glow" to it that I can't explain other than calling it a "glow." This glow makes it unmistakably A.I., like water-color is unmistakably water-color. This will vanish. A lot of A.I. also happens to be boring, but so is a lot of corporate art (just look at WoTC.) Like real art, a certain amount of skill is involved.
A.I. WILL be everywhere. Nothing you can do about it.
Here's a prediction:
In the future (not too distant) you'll come home from a hard days work (or not) and instead of playing video games or watching a movie or watching YouTube, you'll use some form of A.I. to create your own unique movie/game/whatever. You'll type something like: 1920's noir, violent, sexy, rainy, main character type X, 3 hours long, plenty of twists, animated (or live action) etc., and out will pop perfection customized just for you. You'll have your own library of movies and games that no one else has ever seen before. A.I. will pop out a complete movie in minutes (or instantly) that would normally take a year and hundreds of millions of dollars to make. Maybe you'll share them, maybe you won't. Some of these you'll watch over and over... they'll be that good. You'll create your own series.
Right now, there are A.I. mini-movies on YouTube. They're surprisingly fascinating and remind me of dreams in how the reality sometimes warps in them. I actually like this aspect. Unbelievable potential is there.
There'll be no more actors except in little known, back-alley, old school stage-theaters. No more animators. No more, etc., etc.
There'll be entirely A.I. sports leagues. Don't like the MLB or NFL? Simply create your own league and watch an entire season unfold. It'll be as detailed and real as you want it to be.
And just wait till you can jack into your own creations... Live a video game. Live anything.
Some people will make millions ($) because they will have a knack for creating amazing whatever.
Movies will be made completely by one person.
The best super-heroes movies have yet to be made (that's an understatement) because A.I. will perfect the effects, flying and such. The characters will look PERFECT.
Of course you'll pay for all of this stuff, but it will simply replace what you pay for now. And that'll be the rub... who controls the "program." Ultimately, the people with the money will try to ban it's use unless you're paying them. Laws will be passed. Enter the A.I. black market.
A.I. RPGs are on the way too (they're probably already here, I just haven't seen or looked for them.)
Taking a stand against A.I. is like taking a stand against the printing press, that's how revolutionary this is.
Good luck with that.
Pandora's Box is irreversible.
Only something apocalyptic can stop it.
Either way, game on.
