VC Games Statement on AI-Generated Images
Since it's a big topic on the internet, I wanted to make a statement as a company owner on the use of AI-generated art.
We believe in human artists at Velvet Cupcake Games. As I am not, myself, a visual artist, I deeply value the freelancers who work with us. They are incredibly talented and have worked very hard on their skills. Their imagination and passion is an integral part of our project, and it's something that I don't believe any machine learning algorithm could ever duplicate.
Made Marion uses very few art assets that haven't been commissioned for or licensed directly for use on the project. The very few free assets I use are specifically available for free use in commercial products and have still been created by actual humans.
I will not use AI-generated art of any kind as long as the current status quo of unethically obtained learning sets stands. Even with a theoretical "ethical" AI art engine in the future, I don't see myself using AI art in any major way. I want our art to have a human soul.

This applies to AI-generated writing, as well.
