I hear shitlibs complaining about generative AI ruining art, and while I generally agree with them here I argue that mainstream culture was long gone even before AI took over. It obviously took a long time before it was ruined but games like Concord, Veilguard, Callisto Protocol, Andromeda, Starfield and Highguard were shit even if they didn't use AI while Clair Obscur was good despite using it. It seems like big corpos just want to crunch and rush everything up as much as possible while shoving every "current thing" up their asses along the way, with AI being just one of those "current things." Or perhaps the corpos just decided to pander to techbros instead of the wokies now? Regardless, it's clear to me that this process of decline of mainstream pop culture was happening for a long time. All this AAA slop is no better than AI slop to me so it's perfectly understandable why people are happy when AAA devs are fired, even though I'm not sure firing them is gonna fix the fundamental problems with these AAA giants.
Basically, just play indie games and watch indie movies, I think all this big-budget slop should have been euthanized (except for Eastern works, they're fine… other than isekai, romcoms, 3D donghua and TV dramas ig… and some Nintendo franchises).
Btw, what really grinds my gears about AI is that you can't afford any decent gaming hardware because of it. Also, DLSS 5 is hot garbage.

Why are many things called slop yet other things that might also be slop is still referenced or discussed?
For example, why is OP pic not considered 'goon slop'?

>>9435>why is OP pic not considered 'goon slop'?"Goon slop" implies something tasteless and lacking any artistic merit. The thumbnail art at least tries to keep the overall aesthetic of the original character design intact instead of bimbofying it to the point of being unrecognizeable. It's also pretty well-drawn, all things considered.
