They don't want to disclose that's AI art because people won't buy it or at least not for the same price as art made by people. AI "artists" mislead for a reason.
I agree, and the picture in the original post is the outcome of that.
If they charge printing fees plus a modest markup, and disclose that it's AI generated, they'd make fewer sales per hour and less money per sale, but they would be able to operate for more hours and likely go home with more money.
The math on this isn't hard, but it requires thinking more long term/economically than I've ever seen from selfish/capitalistic people who would do this kind of thing.
There's also the knee jerk reactions. There's indie games that are being called AI slop.
Theres one game thats $1.50 but getting ripped because the dev admitted to using AI to create the cut scenes. That's all it was.
