Being also involved in the creation of boardgames, what is bothering our community is that the work of illustrators is now at risk. We have seen some editors using AI to get the illustration of their box. Many illustrators risk to become jobless. Well, maybe you think it is not a problem, but next it will be the turn of the authors as well. I confess I'm troubled by all this.

While AI art may put some jobs at risk, I am not putting anyone out of a job by using it, because I have never hired artists in the first place. So, while I recognize the larger societal issue, I don't see my use of the technology as exacerbating the issue.

I expect it will be harder to replace authors than to replace illustrators. When I generate AI art, it often comes out wrong, and I have to use my own judgement on whether to keep or reject it. This is not too hard with art, because I can quickly tell by looking at it whether it is suitable. Even so, I can't get AI art to follow precise instructions, and I sometimes can't get anything suitable. As for the written word, someone would have to actually read it to tell whether it is any good, and that will take more time. Even if AI books start coming out, I think people will put more trust in books written by humans. So, I don't think AI-generated text is as much of a danger for writers.
