First of all no need to be insulting, and human artists learn by repeatedly copying other peoples work, without asking permission. Then as they progress they attempt to blend styles together, eventually they have blended so many different styles in the direction they wanted that it becomes "their" style. There's a reason why Professional art critics are able to view a piece and know whom you studied under, because the traces of their style is there in your work. This is literally exactly how the AI is functioning it can just iterate significantly faster than a human.

Generative AI is not the enemy it's mealy a tool. It still requires a creative human at one end to come up the theme style basically the fundamental creative elements, what it functionally does if give people who have limit fund, artistic skill, programming skill, the ability to make their own game. It's no different than a supped up version of RPG maker.
