Viewing post in I made a game about cleaning… and it turned into something else

No, I am not going to put money into an obvious AI grift on a platform with no refund policy just to make sure that it actually is an AI grift. I have no intention of supporting "developers" who sell obvious AI slop and lie to me about it.

Instead, why don't you try to write marketing copy that does not read like obvious ChatGPT output, and make sure that your screenshots and other promotional materials do not have obvious AI generation artifacts?

Like, just look at this:

This is obvious AI slop. It was obviously AI generated and it was obviously not double-checked by a human being. It has obvious artifacts of AI generation and obvious mistakes. If you seriously try to explain to me that this is not AI, I will report you to itch.io for fraud, because you are not allowed to lie about a product that you are selling.

Even if this wasn't made by AI, it would still be slop. Charging money for this is outrageous.

Maybe you should learn to cheat. It says AI is used there. If you don't like it, move on. And fill the world with your masterpieces, which it undoubtedly needs.

That AI disclosure was not there when I checked. (And I did check.)

Adding it after you were called out and then telling me to "learn to read" is pretty dang low. (At least I assume you wanted to tell me to "learn to read", not "learn to cheat"...)

And yeah, I am filling the world with my actual creative work. I'd say it's going pretty well.

So you decided to boost your self-esteem by humiliating another developer? Yeah, AI. Yeah, a lot of work. Yeah, it's high-quality, and it has soul and meaning. It's not production, nothing here is production. Yeah, there might be bugs. The game is beatable. It's for kids and parents. It's for those who seek meaning and a good atmosphere. Just pass it by, don't embarrass yourself.

Your work isn't "high quality", it has a typo right on the marketing material. Your lies are obvious to everybody but yourself. Your AI slop does not have soul, nor does it have meaning. Those require creative effort, and you didn't even put effort into proofreading the material that is right on your landing page.

So you didn't download it? You're simply astounding the internet with your fantasies. Kindergarten.

No, I didn't download it because that would cost me $8, and I can already see that your work is AI slop from the screenshots. Judging a game by its screenshots is not a "fantasy", it is the normal process for making a purchase decision.

If you are so dead set on me playing your game, fork over a marketing copy and maybe I might - or I might find more signs of obvious carelessness and mock you for them, so choose carefully.
