The problem with ML art outside of concepting (and even then) is repeatability of scene elements. If you’re illustrating a children’s book you usually want each illustration to keep the characters and scenes consistent. The same is mostly true for game art and concepts.

It's been really cool to use for inspiration as well as generating seamless textures. I've generated some great grass and carpets for my ps1 style game.

I can definitely see it being great for that style of texture. Basically anything one-shot. How much post fiddling did making a seamless texture take?

Sometimes almost none! I usually generate a normal map for it, but the last one I did was retro 70s carpet, and it looked awesome with zero cropping/editing. It was almost perfectly aligned. It helps that my game is quite lofi haha. I'm using Godot/Qodot/Trenchbroom.

Amazing. I think ML will also be pretty handy for generating incidental images. Like you want a picture of a log cabin on a spooky lake in your game and so on.

Oh yeah for sure. I also remembered a friend used it for sky boxes and got some really cool output! I'm excited to see where it goes!
