Those assets were made by a human that got paid to do it, or at least enjoyed doing it.
A placeholder is a garbage excuse for using AI.

In the olden days those assets were pulled from the google search and the people who had made them never saw a dime from the usage.
Placeholder is excelent use for AI.
If i need to do place holder for a dirt by hand it is900x900 brown square named brown_square.png and no artist sees a dime for it. How if somebody uses AI to generate little nicer looking dirt that is not going to end in the final game is taking money from artist?
In both cases there will be an artist that makes the final thing.
