This is a good encapsulation of George's cognitive dissonance.
He believes he could code with AI as well as a coder could code with AI.
Which highlights the fact that he believes amateurs with AI pose a credible threat to his illustration career.
He's wrong, of course. You cannot replace George, or his vision and personality any more than you could replace a competent and creative game or systems designer.

"You're against AI art, but what about coding?"
I'm not a coder, but let me put it this way: If I was working with a coder and he used AI, I would be asking what I'm paying him for when I could do that myself.
If pay for passion and expertise, I expect passion and expertise.
Likewise if someone pays me for art, they will be getting my total professional attention, built on the foundation of decades of practice.
