If I see GenAI artwork in your game trailer or screenshots, I'm going to stay as far away from your game as I possibly can.
If you can't afford artists, use asset packs! There's so many great cheap or even free ones out there.

"But the asset packs isn't exactly what I need / looks same as other games!"

Remix it!
Swap textures or colors! Copy-paste stuff together!
Open blender and move some vertices around!
You'll have fun doing it, making it work for your project and learn something while doing it!

@philipdrobar this is definitely the way! Even as a 3D artist myself, I had to buy 3d models to be able to fill our environment for our first game. It saved so much of my time haha
@philipdrobar ... now you just have to look out for AI in asset packs
