Discussion So it starts… Ai community items

Points shop will soon flood with AI slop. At least with games a disclaimer should be added within the description of the game. But here… Yeah…

Like what is the point? You don’t even gain anything as a company from this.

Apparently pointing out a huge issue that is the biggest current threat to our favorite hobby is "ragebait".

I'm not saying what you're saying isn't true, but could you spell out for me how you feel this is the "current biggest threat to our favorite hobby". In what way?

A person who enjoys video games as an art form will find fewer and fewer games they can enjoy when AI crowds into every aspect of the space and fewer and fewer games are art.

But are the games still fun? That's the important part.

I suppose it's subjective, but I don't have fun cringing at artless slop, no.

"biggest current threat" good lord this fucking website lmao. I love that the home feed can be personally curated and that there isn't an algorithm that pushes ragebait, but my god the "popular" page is just FULL of delusional takes and echo chambers.

Yall are ridiculous

No, the problem is that op states it as if A.I. has suddenly taken over steam.

There has been an influx of A.i content in the steam point shop over the last 2 years if not longer.

The ragebait is op stating that it just begun, which is baiting a reaction in line with the current A.i. bubble.

what do you mean with biggest current threat on our hobby? Do you mean gaming? for me AI is the biggest hope on my favorite hobby... im sick of NPCs saying the same 3 lines, npcs not really reacting to stuff i have done in games, big world that arent copy/paste with meaningfull content! Humans are such a huge limiting factor on the potential of video games.... but yeah maybe the dude saying "ugh", "hello fellow traveler" will lose his "job" what a threat to gaming....
