It depends on what AI can do. If AI couldn't create complete sprite sheet or at least sprite set, game artists are still needed to create those.

Yeah, I'm don't know the limit of AI capability in creating art so take my above statement with grain of salt.

That being said, I don't think professional artist would disappear completely. Someone needs to supervise the artwork made by AI and the best person for the job is an artist.

Never forget also that in order for AI to create an art, it consumes electricity so in places with limited electric power, artists would be preferred to save power.

You can't draw sprites without electricity!!! :( wacom should work :) I completely agree that someone should supervise the creations created by the AI. By the way, there are many people who do not have manual dexterity but have amazing senses. If it is an AI brush that is much easier to handle than a brush, wouldn't it be possible for non-artists to supervise it?

You can draw sprites without electricity but with pen or pencil on paper :D.

As for supervision, it really depend on desired quality of the product. If the dev is happy with low quality artwork from the AI, it's fine for them. Maybe it's their intention and probably they don't need professional artist in the first place.

However, if the dev wants high quality artwork, professional artist might be needed to supervise the art creation by AI.

I watched in a youtube video that this AI requires more electric power and that's the downside of AI.

Yes! Actually. Before making a game, I drew it on paper as a prototype and played the game :D I hope the area of the artist can be maintained as it is. Of course, it may not be difficult for those with good skills.
