I’m a 26 year old gen z and feel I get it right most of the time. If I had to describe it, everything ai touches has this corporate clip-art stock photo style over it. Even when it tries to mimic a different art style or real photos, something feels soulless about it.
Something else, I used to believe that if AI images began to look good and it was used for hobbyist purposes that it might be fine. Despite this I’ve found that the moment I realize an image is AI I drop it in disinterest. It took AI for me to realize just how much the tiny details of art mattered; because if you look closely at an AI image all you’ll see is what’s statistically likely to be there unrelated to the subject matter.
I play a Tower Defense game with AI graphics (YouTD2). I hope it will be replaced eventually, it’s a lot of art and only a small project. The icons and actual towers look different, which is the biggest issue. Every tower evolution looks vastly different from the others, but it’s based on a WC3 mod and they’ve always been like that. There isn’t much competition for Open Source TD games. Fun game mechanics were more important to me.
