You've started on a completely false assumption.

TBH some of the best art, music and creativity in games comes from small indie studios and developers. Who put creativity and skill into their project. They make it good by actually making it all. Games with a unique style and fun ideas come from small indie studios who need supporting.

AI is a shortcut to stealing others work by proxy. It creates content that is non-novel by its very design and by the very limitations of the tool.

artists, programmers and musicians that can lovingly hand craft the loot boxes

What are you on about? It's the companies churning out loot box after loot box that are programmatically producing them. You're actively invalidating your own point in your rant.

At this point, reading your comment again. I'm really hoping I just missed some dry sarcasm.
