I suspect these models will be like old Gutenberg's printing press. A rapid rise in the amount of content; most of it not that great. However the sheer volume will result in even more high quality content actually being created in aggregate.

Put another way, the average game quality will go down, but the actual rate of "Great" games will go up.

Have to disagree here as I don't subscribe to your analogy. GenAI can be considered a tool, yes, but it's less a "circular saw for workshops"-tool, and more a "microwave for kitchens"-tool... and I doubt microwaves led to higher quality content in aggregate.

But these aren't great games. They are not even good. They are just tech demos with nothing of interest to gamers.

Why do I need more slopware? I have an entire Steam library of excellent games that deserve to be played first.
