I’ve found plenty of games on here where I’m like, wow this is slop.
Yes!
AI games only have a correlation with slop and not a causative connection. Games are still made by humans. Even if they used ai. But for all the slop creators it is so much easier to create a bunch of slop, that most slop games you see, will now be made with ai and most ai games you will see will be of the sloppy kind.
There is this https://itch.io/games/top-rated/tag-ai-generated . Compared to https://itch.io/games/top-rated it is not much, but there are games that have fans, despite featuring ai usage.
But I bet they do not have fans because they used ai. People just ignore or tolerate it. It is unwise to use gen ai if it can be avoided, and doubly so, if there are alternatives. People do not seek functionality in a game. The human aspect is important.
