If you're a gamer: Have you seen the amount of AI slop on Steam? Or the amount of poorly created translations banged out with AI? Or the amount of shitty decomps appearing daily developed with Claude? People are looking for signals because AI usage is a strong signal of poor quality trash. You are not going to overcome that barrier by complaining it's being made obvious of it or complaining that people are being 'prejudiced', the only way you will overcome it is by proving you have something of actual worth. And if you can't prove that, then maybe you need to reevaluate what you are creating.

I'm developing one of those "shitty" decomps. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49267102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49267102 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.

  > Yes, I understand you want to dismiss works based purely on provenance without actually evaluating it on its merits. 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. > You are dealing with thousands of people who are doing exactly the same thing as you, with the same quality and the same reasoning. 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?
