Debate: should Steam ban low-effort AI slop, or is quality gatekeeping a beauty contest?

A debate over Steam's handling of AI-generated games: one side argues Valve should drop performative "AI disclosure" labels and implement real quality control, blocking low-effort slop. Stretchedwiener counters that this effectively bans games for "looking bad" regardless of how AI is actually used, and that games are allowed to look bad—great games can look sloppy—so gatekeeping can't devolve into a beauty contest.
