Then doesn’t that kind of highlight the struggles that non-artistic game designers have faced? Potentially great game design overlooked because of poor art?

So can you see how AI art, which may not be the best but is certainly better than someone without artistic talent, might open doors that were previously closed?

An important aspect for making a game great is how all the pieces come together (from sound design to graphics to even mechanics) to form a cohesive whole. If someone was to use AI slop for an obvious aspect then how can I trust that they would have put any love and care into other aspects of the game? Especially when there are so many amazing games from small studios and independent game designers that don’t need to rely on AI slop.
