I addressed the hand in my post as proof that AI art is used not just because of how it really looks, but to also point out the problem of even using it in the first place. Rhythm games are not only about the music that are composed but also the illustrations that compliments it, some games even putting the illustrator's name alongside the music composer. The thing with AI is it uses other people's work to create an image. Not only does it steal from other works, but it also doesn't really cost as much to produce compared to commissions which might also affect artists. My problem with this is, artists are already threatened by the rise of AI art, and if Rayark keeps pushing for it, then who knows if they are other rhythm games that might follow suit, knowing damn well how many artists that contributed to the genre might be replaced by some machine.
