here's one way I think that could be helpful. I read an interview with the final fantasy 6 director where he said doing a final fantasy 6 remake would probably take 20 years because the amount of content (and various art decisions) would take so much longer to make under today's expectations.
I wonder if projects like that would be closer to possible if artists could get AI to do maybe 10-20% of the work for them, like a 1st pass at background scenery or a 3d model or something or fixing a small flaws in motion capture
that said, i sympathize with the artists because i want to control every penstroke and every keystroke, maybe AI assisted art is a more difficult problem than it sounds. most likely AI assisted art will look less like prompting and more like advanced photoshop tools (like take this line sketch + a prompt and rough shade it for me).
