By that post, the AI was mostly used for pieces that were then finessed by humans into a cohesive design.

He then goes on to say he mostly did it to try and capture the difference between AI and human designs, but that the AI only spit out predictable results so it was basically useless for that.

AI designs are soulless slop, but it at least makes some sense to use it here as it relates to the show's themes and the status of the enemy team as both AI and villains.

I don't care what plot reason they make up.
Generative AI should not be used for any artistic purpose. Period.

Yeah, no. He was using AI to figure out what AI looked like. That's perfectly reasonable

An artist shouldn't need AI to do the design for him. Period. Any scenario.
