It can be supportive. I know at least one MMORPG-in-the-making that utilizes AI to some minor extent. The caveat is that all images the AI trains on are generated in-house by artists whose time and effort is bought and paid for specifically to train the AI.

The AI art is also "directed" by the developers/artists, therefore copyrightable. It is not done via the current AI-driven websites typing "male catboy wearing chain mail armor bikini".
If they do decide to go the way of AI, it would most definitely make the most sense for them to get their own in house AI trained off of their own artists work.

And as I said, use it for concept art, still would need people to actually turn it into actual ingame content and what not.
