Funny you choose a studio who is known for plagiarism and uses AI like crazy as your example. And ads that don’t reflect the actual game…

Oh yeah, I forgot that that game uses the clickbait ads. It’s a bad example. I’ll remove it from my previous reply.
It still doesn’t change my stance on AI art in game icons, though.
Think of stardew valley,
It’s just a simple little chicken that would take 5 minutes to make
Also it’s not the greatest icon ever

The Subway Surfers icon is basically just a game screenshot with some effects in Photoshop:
Logo and Name are those 2 things that never get that premium and brand feel by default,the product makes it brand
–My 2 cents
