I think game art for programmers or people with a game design idea but no visual arts chops is a very fitting use. As would be generating text for such a use, like dialog for an NPC.

People aren't nearly creative enough with this.

You can use generative AI to give you a complete schedule for every NPC in the town. You can use generative AI to determine what the relationships between people in the town are.

I am working on using generative AI to simulate an entire small town.

There’s a long way to go from “no artistic chops” to “compelling art” and although this is subjective, I haven’t seen AI getting there.

I'm not an expert or especially well versed, but I feel like I've seen things from midjourney that could pass for semi-professional art, the kind that might be sold at a small time park exhibition on a sunny afternoon.

And with somebody super focused on figuring out the right prompts, maybe tweaking the images slightly, I think it could be workable in a game for sprites, textures, backgrounds.
