One thing I’ve learned about PigKing is that there’s no point in getting upset with them, as it doesn’t solve anything. I understand your point of view, but if this is the direction they’ve chosen by using AI for textures, all I can do is hope that the quality keeps improving. I’ve already gotten used to this approach and have noticed a significant improvement in their recent work. Still, I hope they refine the color palette, making it more vibrant and less grayish, achieving a more photographic effect even with AI-generated textures.
That said, there’s nothing stopping you from expressing your opinion politely. I was suspended from the forum for being more assertive, so if you want to voice any criticism, I recommend doing so in a friendly manner. I believe that, this way, they will respond cordially as well.
