Used to swap game textures with MS Paint in 2003, now kids are doing it with AI tools

I was messing around in a forum for an old Unreal Tournament mod back in 2003, handpicking every single pixel in MS Paint to recolor a gun skin. Now I see people generating entire texture packs with Stable Diffusion in ten minutes and I'm not sure if I'm impressed or just feeling old. Has anyone else tried blending old manual methods with the new AI stuff, or do you stick to one or the other?

Three weeks for one portrait?

One of my buddies refused to let go of his old MS Paint method for a while... spent three weeks hand-editing a character portrait and then just gave up and ran it through a filter in one of those new programs. He was mad it looked better in five seconds than his three weeks of work.
