I somewhat agree with you but not in full. I agree that AI might be great for generating placeholder assets because it allows someone without the artistic skills to produce images/assets that convey a certain idea better then trying to explain it with words. A picture says more than a thousand words after all.

However, I do think that AI assets have no place in a product delivered to consumers. Not as a demo and certainly not as a final product. This goes for any industry and any type of AI generated output. It should merely be used as something that supplements a written idea with another format so to adequately transfer ideas from one person to another.
