AI assisting graphical tools are definitely very useful, are definitely going to be helpful for indie developers, and are definitely going to be a prime standard in AAA games very soon. There needs to be some serious regulation and ethical processing that needs to be done for AI work so there's not constant theft and layoffs going around like butter, but other than that, it's going to be fantastic for game development.
Moreover, I'd have to say easily one of my top biggest problems with the Gaming Industry is this horrible drought of sexy women. The whole push against women being sexy, having sex, looking beautiful, etc. is super terrible and is nonsensical on all fronts. Seriously, this is just something I do not agree with in any capacity. Nothing about it makes sense and it all just falls about very quickly once you begin to looking at it critically. And it's not even me being full coomer and needing sexy women to be in every game, it's just that avoiding it for the sake not offending SJW crybabies is never EVER worth it.
And it's not just graphics. Here's an AI-driven mocap from video. Guy records himself dancing in his room and nearly instantaneously maps the animation onto a 3D model. Surely you can imagine how much gatekeeping a thing like this could shatter? www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eUcwZniuSQ
And if you still refuse to consider that AI could make game development many times faster (=cheaper) with same results, then I guess you're all secretly artists with Fanbox accounts. :P But I agree with SadSap on the need of an ethical approach, at the very least when it comes to enterprise level.

Yeah now that's bad. I love the increase of female MCs (not you, Mary Jane), but we kinda need to make "sexist games legal again" - any ideas?
They aren't even "illegal" at all, it's just SA losers whining about something they are embarrassed about since they never saw tits in their entire life.
We could create a secret base and help sane developers get jobs at AAA gamedev teams, and insane developers to lose those jobs if they happen to have them. Not talking harassment obviously, more like watching them for any wrong steps - digging up their criminal activity, bribes they send to game reviewers, amplifying inappropriate things they publicly say, etc.
I'm also willing to listen to any actual realistic plans of course.
By the way, didn't you mention you develop a game?
Hee-Ho said: I do. I have unfinished projects, a romhack and some mods. I only make sprites of a game when I learn how to code on gamemaker 8.1
Cool. Romhacks always amazed me. And since I currently know nothing about the way they're made and imagine it all as a single big Assembly journey, the work it must take fascinates me. Spill the beans, use any tools?
