Game developers and pixel artists are losing their jobs (sprite-ai.art)

Correct title: AI Sprite Generator

Pixel artists dominate the indie scene, these aren't the people losing their jobs to AI. Major developers at the behest of fans dissuade the use of AI for art generation (at least the art that gets published with paid games), and Steam requires developers to flag when AI art is used.

Game devs are losing their jobs for plenty of other reasons, but AI art isn't one of them.

Is this simply to plug another AI site?


Sprite-AI turns text prompts into pixel-perfect game sprites in seconds at least that's what the founder says it does, but honestly, it's bullshit. It's literally taking jobs away from artists and game developers. Is this just another one of these AI startups? I can't deal with this anymore


What is upsetting about it exactly? Did people hate the wheel when it was invented because it took away jobs carrying loads instead of wheeling them? One person can wheel a lot, I'm sure that upset a bunch of won't-adapt non-wheelers.
