Let me give you some new perspectives. I totally get you not wanting to use AI at all in game development. I was the same way. The joy in us artists is the journey creating, learning as you create and improving your craft. It's truly insane what AI can do now, and how fast it's improving. It's very scary. Recently, I've been experimenting with the UEFN MCP to see if it'd be beneficial for me as an environmental artist in ways that aren't "Computa, make me terrain" and honestly, I'm blown away by the results. With the mindset of viewing it strictly as a tool, you can have it do really mundane tasks for you that you otherwise would've spent so much time on that doesn't contribute to improvement of your craft. One example is this. Epic has the ability to automatically paint underneath trees/rocks on the battle royale map, fully automated, without AI. We've always needed to manually paint under trees/rocks in our UEFN projects. They have an automated tool that we have no access to, so a meaningful way to use it as a tool would be to ask the MCP "Hey, paint under all my rocks and trees on my landscape" and it'll basically do what we don't have access to. Another example I've done recently is using it as a tool to figure out why my UEFN crashes when I'm pasting 40k+ actors from plain text. It can help me identify which actor is causing the issue and can alter the text file to exclude that actor which would fix the crashing. The big thing I want you to take away from this is think of it more of an aid in development that can save you time on the more slow, repetitive, and mundane tasks you would've ended up doing yourself while having gained nothing or learned anything from said task. Because that's what you and I value the most, is spending the time learning how to do our craft and improving on it
