Because these people do not understand the concept of craft nor care about the process of creating, they are soulless goons looking to grift people. It’s not their fault that society is so fucked that it’s necessary to trick and rob people so they can eat…
Yeah, they don’t understand that the process of learning, of making mistakes and hitting dead-ends as you create your work of art is fucking important! Failures can lead to unexpected changes to your initial idea, and they might improve your work or at least make it iconic (the classic example of the fog in Silent Hill that was added to offset a technical limitation). You can’t have that if the entire process of creating a piece is automated.

You’re free to use AI, just declare it. The purchasing public is free to decide if that changes how much they’re willing to pay for your game.
We aren’t entitled to your time, but you aren’t entitle to sales. If your use of AI is losing you sales, you’re perfectly free to decide to stop or keep using it.
