I disagree. Placeholder art should clearly be placeholder art. A stick figure made in Paint is a better placeholder than AI slop. It makes reviewing easier too. Plus you're not burning tokens, compute and the environment for something that won't make it into the game.

Gamers are clearly anti GenAI for assets. Any studio who uses GenAI for assets, even placeholders, is taking an easily avoidable risk. Players will find out.
