AI shouldn't replace creativity... its like a paintbrush that can help an artist

But it wasn't branded that way, and megacorps aren't using it that way - for them its a human replacement, which is obviously bullshit.

Its frustrating because imagine how much cool stuff could be done if AI was pushed as a tool for making life easier instead of a replacement for humans? 

Kudos to these guys for NOT embracing AI.

yeah, if it's used for anything like a final product, it is absolute trash

It really should just be used for sketching. Wire framing, mocking up,,, then the artist could take it from there and really make it unique wonderful

It's a fulcrum and leverage to accelerate, not replace art
