And I could commission a portrait artist instead of taking a selfie with my phone.
It all depends on your objectives and budget. For many people a few hundred bucks are just too much. And for a small payment (like 5-25 bucks) most commissions will return much worse results that the AI. For a result actually better we would be talking about an amount of money that obviously not everyone is capable to pay.
I’m not used AI because i mostly do games with pixel art and AI is shit for that.
But I do my shit tier pixel art done by myself. I cannot hire anyone for a shitty game that I’m just going to post online for free. Not everyone is monetizing everything they do. And if I’m not monetizing I’m not investing money into it either.

Okay ideaguy!
Yeah, if you take a selfie with your phone the result will most likely not be something you’ll be hanging up on any walls.
If you care about the art you’re making (a video game) you should probably invest in it and try to make something worthwhile.
Alternatively you can also make asset flip tier garbage with generative model outputs.

absolute respect for making your own art; no matter the tier.
