I was wondering how people feel about this? Absolute yea or nay, something in between?
Personally, from an ideological viewpoint, I must say I well and truly don't give a shit. If the end result is good it's fine by me.
But that's kinda the rub, you need to put in effort to get good results with today's AI. (Maybe in the future this changes, who knows.) If you just ask some online image generator for a picture and paste it in, it's not going to be great. A lot of adjusting, fine-tuning, and curating is required. At that point, it doesn't feel substantially different to me from using some other tool that can automate things, like texturing with a graphics program. The only type of computer art where you're truly not "cheating" in any way is fully hand-drawn pixel art.
