BioMenace Remastered is 35 % off right now in the Steam and GOG Summer Sales, bringing the price below 10 USD/10 EUR! It's hot outside, so what better time to stay inside and play some BioMenace? ;) You can even go to the beach and cool off - in more than one user level!

Very deep down the list of Next Fest demos now and AI stuff getting a LITTLE more common, but it's usually self-evidently low-effort garbage too that's obvious even without the disclosure.

Still seeing more 'This game is 100% human-made' notes than AI disclosures. Good sign.
Calling it a night now, but I think this multi-hour dive through the demo listings really puts things into perspective.

Yes, there's a lot of AI junk on Steam. But the vast majority of it just sinks like a stone. The moment any kind of ranking or algorithmic stuff is applied, human effort floats up
"That was one sorry excuse for a security robot. Makes a great bonfire though..." 🔥
New in #OpenBioForge: dynamic palette-based lighting, climbing, balancing on ledges, fall recovery, body-zone combat and positional audio.

DoomWorld, home of the #DOOM community for 28 years, has put its foot down on AI content: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/158906-regarding-ai-generated-content-on-doomworld/

They have had to make an exception for some AI work that was already going on before the whole modern slopfest started, i.e. Neural Upscaling, but they are specifically banning all low-effort and AI-first content.

From thr TFA:

Editor’s note: This is an updated version of the article. The previous version wrongly quoted Jeff Bezos. The error is regretted.

I quoted what was published in the article. So now i removed it as Jeff Bezos never said that. You can always see original diff. Sorry about that.

AI is not a threat, it will create more jobs, says Jeff Bezos

Skipping fears of mass unemployment, Bezos used his VivaTech panel to argue that an 'artificial general engineer' just creates more tasks.

We need more places to openly take stands like Thomas House.
