While AI is just tool like anything else, the fact it is being used to replace talented artists just to save a quick buck is why it is understandably being called evil. Context matters.

    Except in this case it wasn't used to replace talented artists.

    AI is precisely for this kind of work, the uninspired, "someone's gotta do it" kind of boilerplate bullshit. No artist is enthusiastic about having to make brick pattern number 3591. But someone's gotta make it. At that point, it might be just one artist generating all required 8000 patterns via AI, knocking it out in one day, then getting back to working on things that do require their talent.

    AI has not replaced any jobs to any significant degree
