Ok, what about a more direct take.

Hello games made a game called No Man's Sky which has VERY heavy use of procedural generation. Same as Minecraft.

If someone were to make the same games using genAi, would it be less impressive, even if the output was 'better'?

i think you need to be more specific: if just the procedural generation was replaced or augmented with AI generation, would that be less acceptable? the procedural part is machine generated either way and everything else is done by hand as before.

the question here really depends on how much the procedural generator is an artwork in itself, and how much that would be lessened by using AI to generate the worlds instead.

Yes, of course.

But even if the answer was no, I don't see the relationship to what I said. I never commented on "impressiveness".

Yes.

yeah?
