@mos_8502 and, itch.io assets are a bargain compared to trying to make an LLM produce pixel art that's worth a shit. (Challenge level: Literally impossible. I was curious...they're really bad at pixel art, especially very low resolution pixel art.)
I paid for the right to use them, modify them (which is important because I have to modify them to make them work on C64!), sell them as an integral part of as many games as I want to make, etc.
I'm not saying you can't use AI if you want. What am I, a cop? But I chose not to use it for art in Rowan.

The burritos got their hooves trimmed and didn’t try to kick the farrier once. She’s so gentle and calm with them. But they still want me to know it must NEVER happen again. #asstodon
