Debate: should low-effort AI 'slop' games be banned from store shelves?
AIandDesign · x · 2026-10-21
A debate over AI-generated games: one side argues low-effort slop shouldn't be allowed to publish; critics ask who would sit on the "star chamber" deciding what counts, warning that judging by visuals alone would punish games legitimately using AI for assets. AIandDesign clarifies that "looks like slop" isn't about graphics quality — plenty of games with mediocre visuals are great, and players can tell effort from slop.
