@Taril Concept art does indeed eventually turn (or mostly turn) into the finished product. Just because it is iterative does not mean it does not end up picking a direction. The BG3 artbook has many examples of this. It is not always 1:1 as technical limitations pop up, but, like I said: If the root of your visual direction has the centrist approach AI takes, that's not good at all for the final product's artistic vision.
As for the artists, if I am allowed an argument from authority fallacy: as an artist myself, and knowing the general stance of other artists (and former concept artists that worked at Larian that have popped up after this reveal), this is not helping them. They generally don't like working with it.
