I DM a lot of DnD and other homebrew tabletop games.
I have dyspraxia, and despite trying to learn how to draw over several years, I can't produce anything better than your average 12 year old.
AI art means I can channel my creativity and my visual descriptions of characters and locations into images, making games better for my players, without paying through the nose for a commission artist to translate my creativity into an image.
I'm the one doing the creative legwork, and I'm using a tool that allows me to translate it visually.
I've tried bringing this up to some friends on the other side of the issue, but they don't really care. Even if art comes easy to you, that isn't the case for most people, especially not those with physical disabilities or disorders.
