"is it time we bring that up so the artist(s) stop doing that?"

who is we?

I see that by calling their artwork AI slop you did get a reaction from the artist, so well done there.

"there's also a lot of artists /on/ Marapets who would love to assist with any art assets that would be needed, as long as we stop eating this AI slop"

Labelling any art you personally dislike as “AI slop” is not only inaccurate, it’s disrespectful to the people who actually make it.

I also find it really offensive.. the assumption that AI art means that Ian isn't paying for artists

I won't be saying any more on the matter but my opinion is:

My goal at [b]MaraPets[/b] is not perfection. We're a game and it is supposed to be fun.

It's not an art gallery. I'm not a novelist. We're a very small team of real people (with feelings).

You can appreciate us for what we are or you can creative environment where real artists are pushed out by AI assumptions and unrealistic expectations. Unrealistic expectations (expecting perfection in art for example) that in a few years only AI will be able to meet anyway
