"But even so, I still don't think games should be rated 1/5 without playing them because of AI either. "

Well, I do believe that it is entirely fair to give plagiarized stuff a low rating without playing it, because plagiarism is bad and artistically bankrupt. I also believe that it is fair to give a game a low rating without playing it if it is already clear from the screenshots and product page that it is lazy, effortless slop. Both of these rules apply whether AI has been involved or not, but these days, most slop is automated.

You're the one who brought this up as an example of invalid opinions that need to be algorithmically suppressed and as a similar level of injustice as brigading someone for being queer and making queer content. I believe it is fair that I get to argue why I do not see those things as remotely comparable.

Sure, but other people can ALSO see that it is AI-generated. And they might not care about your 1/5 vote, they just want to know if the game is good or not? And these votes just makes that harder?

I agree that big companies using AI is bad and sad, but I personally do not care if a small kids first garage made game contains AI images.. as he just would not have hired an artist anyway.

I just don't agree with you that you should hand out a bunch of 1/5 without playing a game. Just don't vote? As those votes you are adding just doesn't help anyone? They can make people feel sad I guess, so if that is you goal? Like increase the sadness in the world? No artist will receive money from you adding that review. And if some people really like AI games, they will probably still play them, and then notice that AI games rated 3/5 is somehow better than regular games rated 4/5 and just start searching for more AI games - and just enforce their view that AI-games are clearly superior?

I still don't want to defend AI games though... but there are good uses. Like I have played a game from one developer that uses 3-d to generate his scenes, but added some AI use for generating books in bookshelves, to not have all of them look the same. And that was a fast and smart way to solve a problem, using modern tools. But I guess I should change my 5/5 rating to a 1/5 because of AI use, as that will surely help people in the world somehow. I mean he did use AI once, and no artist received any money - and his game is at least somewhat well known - yeah, he really should have a 1/5, even though the game was really great.

> they just want to know if the game is good or not

And I rate those games 1/5 because I think the game is bad and want to let other people know about that. That's what ratings are for.
