AI image creators are fantastic for whipping up character icons for RPG's. I don't care if they're kind of wonky, search engines fucking suck now, and I'm not paying hundreds of dollars and waiting several weeks to commission anything.
Legal wages for a twelve year old are about $8 an hour around here. She was paid for about two and a half hours of her time, which is about what I estimate she spent.
But thanks for implying that I am a exploitive jerk.
AI art is soulless and derivative, I find nothing it makes to be of much interest at all.
But I'm willing to pretend otherwise to piss artists off, as a group they come across as wholly petulant and entitled.

Eh. I paid a local twelve year old twenty bucks for original character art for a TTRPG.
It was the daughter of a friend. She spends all her free time drawing anyway. She got paid to practice her art. It was win/win.
It was not museum quality, but it was $20 worth.
If I had the connections to exploit child labor at sub-minumum wage, I'd take advantage of that. Sadly, I do not.
