And what really burns is that they STILL want the prestige of human art. That’s why they hide AI use. That’s why Sandfall didn’t disclose i until they were caught t. That’s why awards shows don’t want rules. They want the aura of craft without the cost of respecting the people who do it.

It's all bad of course, but it is the most c-suite brained thing to think of it as "just" concept art because it doesn't appear in the final product.

Concept art is the creative bedrock of your entire project. If you're comfortable using it there, the entire thing is rotten.
