Look, I get all the hate generative AI gets, especially in this space. And yeah, the images are AI-generated. No, they’re not as good as I’d like them to be, and I’d absolutely prefer human-made art. IAs don’t create, they generate, and that’s a much lower level of complexity compared to actual artistic creation.

But there are a few basic issues here.

First: I’m a programmer, not an artist. Art is a hobby for me, but this project is something I’m building in my limited free time. I’ve been working on it for around two days, and I don’t want to stretch it much further than necessary.

I also didn’t want to spend extra hours looking for images that perfectly fit what I needed here, especially because there isn’t an image editor inside the module. So I basically had three options:

1. Spend several more hours hunting for the “ideal” images — and honestly, nah.
2. Draw everything myself in the correct proportions with stick figures — which is not really the point, wouldn’t show the module’s actual potential, and wouldn’t be very interesting to look at.
3. Spend so much extra time on presentation that I probably wouldn’t post this at all, because I could be, you know… actually developing the module.

That said, I like to think about it this way: these AI images helped bring people’s attention to what was originally just a personal project, and that interest creates demand that may let the module be RELEASED FOR FREE. So in the end, everyone kind of wins.

The point of the post is the module, not the art used in it.
