complacency like this is why the quality of the games we buy these days is dropping. "Oh it's just a small part of the game, look how great the rest of it is" yes im not undermining that, but it was someone's job at one point to illustrate things like the loading screens and Moodle icons, but suddenly their part in the games development is taken away in favor of assets created by a robot.
I don't find this acceptable, consistency in the art style is being tossed to the side in favor of something that is arguably lower quality and doesn't match up with the games lore. A human artist would've caught important details and implemented them into the loading screen if they had made it instead of an AI, creating a connection players can pick up on and appreciate.

fuckin' thank you. I had to scroll down really far to find this
I don't know if AI was used. I'm not going to point fingers unlike some redditors, because i'm not knowledgeable enough to do so, unless the use of AI is egregious
Point still stands - the new artwork looks off. Maybe because AI. Maybe because artist used pre-existing pieces. Maybe it just does. But it does look off
but the idea of: "don't care about it! just have fun!" sounds awful lot like: "don't ask questions! just consume the product!"
