Demoscene community pushes back on AI demos despite new Assembly AI category

A discussion on the demoscene community's attitude toward AI works: this year's Assembly Party introduced a special AI demo combo category for the first time — partly to keep AI out of regular compos — but most of the community still rejected it, voicing disapproval via negative votes on Pouet. Commenters note the scene already shunned Unreal/Unity engine demos, and AI entries are facing similar backlash.
