I think I might have purchased some of those.

I'm developing one of those "shitty" decomps.

I'm still annotating the game myself though. Because I care about it and actually want to learn how it works.

> People are looking for signals because AI usage is a strong signal of poor quality trash.

Yes, I understand you want to dismiss works based purely on provenance without actually evaluating it on its merits.

Pre-judgement, as I said. Prejudice.

No, I will not help you do it.

> the only way you will overcome it is by proving you have something of actual worth

Ah yes, please continue. Do tell me about the worth of my own projects. GitHub and website links are on my profile.

I have gone over almost 20,000 games on Steam because I focus on indie game curation. If you have actually paid attention around you to the kinds of things people are throwing out there then you would understand. I have seen games that literally do not function with a bunch of generated assets [1], games whose sole providence is combining generated hollow art with a generated hollow story [2]. You are dealing with thousands of people who are doing exactly the same thing as you, with the same quality and the same reasoning. Your work can and will get filtered out along with the rest of them because you are using the same signal in the same way.

Sounds like you want a quality filter, not an AI filter.

So you've just concluded I'm one of those people you keep reviewing on Steam. Very nice.

Did you actually look at my projects?
