Sorry for the rant, but every Next Fest got worse and it's harder to sift through the slop (and handmade games that are clearly not for me, sorry guys)... maybe it's also Valves fault? Steam clearly knows what I like, but it doesn't give me stuff like it.

It's just not the same and it looks extremely ugly. I don't want to pay for something where more work was done describing how an image should look like than someone actually painting it. Same goes for music or text. Why do you give me so much to read when you clearly didn't want to write it?

AI people always compare AI to tools that are used in the arts, like photoshop or even "camera vs. painting", but it's clearly not the same. The camera does capture the information directly as is without any artistic filter while the painting is clearly an artistic decision in every line.

"Some game assets are AI-generated." - Some??? All of them! "All AI-generated assets were reviewed, modified and integrated to fit the desired visual style that the developer intended" - yeah, but it still sucks, though? It's overly detailed, uncanny, soulless and often just looks plain weird.

Next Fest is full with slop. Like literal low-effort-"I have no idea what I'm doing"-slop. Let's take the soulless slop machine to make soulless slop.
