    I think everyone being able to do art is nice!

    Everyone is already able to do art, and LLMs are not able to do art. “AI art” is a misnomer since AI is not capable of the intentionality that I feel is necessary to the definition of art. It is a tool that disrespectfully mimics the work of artists to produce the most generic watered down mush that it possibly can.

      when I first read Dune the Butlerian Jihad struck me as an outlandish idea, but now it seems almost inevitable

      I think this is a disingenuous take. Yes, artists do valuable work and still do. But to say “everyone is able to do art” intentionally misses the point that not everyone is able to do art well enough to communicate intention. If the developer drew a bunch of stick figures, everyone would hate it.

        I would like that way way more than anything involving an LLM.

        And anyway, while we’re talking about the specifics of this game / game dev, this is a popular game. They’ve made money from it. They can hire an artist.
