I worked on Redemptions Keep and the game before it Demonlord's Lair as a writer. The creator, Pomi, and I each agreed that AI art was essentially a crutch to lean on since neither of us had the art skills to actually include actual art. Eventually I moved on from the game because I saw how bad AI art was becoming, and slowly he has too. He draws his own art now and has improved because of it, even beginning to turn away from AI and now using hand drawn assets for his games. If he had continued using AI the whole time he'd never have improved on his own personal art skills and would've kept leaning on that crutch the entire time. Is AI art and content easier? Sure, but at the end of the day you're only hurting yourself from improving by using it. A game jam should be an opportunity to improve, and AI doesn't let you do any of that
