I really liked this game! The art was alright, and it was fun as a game. Btw, I'm also a pixel artist, so good pixels, hahah!

Yes I've heard of innovations that received negative criticism from people but that are nowdays accepted or are about to be normalized. It's true that people are the ones who give meaning and purpose to tools by how they use it. Like martial arts: boxers are usually considered as aggressive beasts, while such people are actually met in the streets at night. While there are some people who brag about being a martial artist, there are some who don't and use it when needed. So as you said, how AI is used depends on the person, and in this case is acceptable, or rather, understandable. But AI has something way different to it, unlike digital art, that while gives many tools to make your work easier, still requires a good art knowledge to draw well, in fact, it's a great innovation that made artists' work more comfortable! As for photography, I don't see it as something bad at all, and I wouldn't understand the issues people used to have, because those pictures can be used as a good reference. And there is a bit of skill required, since you might need good reflexes to capture certain moments. But AI? It can be used as an anatomy reference to some extent, the lighting can be sometimes wrong. And, as if it wasn't enough, some people opened a Patreon and gain money by basically generating art! The context in here is different, because this is completely disrespectful to some other artists, of any kind, that put hard work to reach a certain level. Luckily they didn't reach a level of fame like various artists, so this puts me at ease. And sadly, as you said, I can complain as much as I want, AI art might continue existing. But at least, I can say I still have won this non-existent pointless battle, because I didn't lose my pride, and I'll keep putting more work to become a better artist. :)
That's fair. And I should apologise, as I didn't read that it was a prototype. But regarding AI art used as a "tool" is something I completely disagree with. The developer said he'd fix it and I accept it because they seem to be aware of its flaws, so yeah, kudos to him! But people shouldn't focus on AI art too much, because it's disrepectful to other artists. I can accept it in game developing because some people have given valid points, despite the presence of AI art, the developer put work on it through coding and that is obviously a great feat. As I said to someone else, I disapprove of AI art, so I think I'll offer help to the developer in the future. I'm not talented, nor a great pixel artist, but I'll improve as best as I can, instead of relying on AI. Moreover, AI shouldn't touch skills where other people put work on. This is a rant, and I can accept the developer's choice this time, because they gave me a fair and understable reason. It's also true that artists require quite some money, which is as fair as the person using AI art. As a pixel artist though, that AI art looks like ass. And, sorry that I'm repeating myself, I'd like to help the developer in the future!
AI art will never achieve the beauty of pixel arts! And cost? Does making your own art require money? I can close an eye because these developers did put some work nonetheless, coding is no easy matter, and it's an achievement itself. But coding is also a skill that can be improved, just like art. Now, I'm not saying that the developer should pay artists, because I don't deny that they cost a fortune, and that was the reason why I started drawing myself. We enjoy hentai games not for the gameplay mechanics, but for its NSFW content. The developer must keep making these games, maybe make some with Koikatsu/HS and sell them at a small price, and while doing it, practice a bit in art. I feel like I'm being exaggerated now, and I think I said too much already. Honestly, I'm not a fan of Kokiatsu/HS games, but there was work behind it in a way. Also, AI art pixel art looks like ass, that's my main complaint. That said, I will support the developer if he wants an artist in the future. I may not be a great pixel artist, but I'm putting work to improve my skills!
That at least. I've seen Patreon accounts where they'd post AI art. I'm not a great pixel artist, even worse as a general artist, but I wouldn't scam people like that. That said, I guess you're paying because there is some work behind these hentai games at least, but I'll never approve of AI art. That said, I understand your point.
