My company is making pixel art games with high quality art and we released 3 titles so far. While we don't use AI at all we still do experiment with it not to miss what's possible. And so far I just can't agree you can produce anything good consistently with AI.

Pixel art production is not just about making cool lookin pixels, but about consistency. It take a lot of art direction to make professional artists working together to match specific art style.

With 3D games you can mostly use assets from stores and just cover them with effects or shading, but it's just not how pixel art works.

You can generate tons of sprite sheets using AIs and each will look good and sometimes great, but getting right style, lighting and camera perspective is near impossible.

And animations are even harder because there just so little information to work with.
