Official PlayStation Social Media Now Promoting Shovelware Using AI-Made Art

The official PlayStation Italy Instagram page has promoted a shovelware game that's clearly using AI art.

I think we've all prompted better AI images than that lol. Maybe so bad was the point.

Remember times when PS Store felt more exclusive, premium? Good days.

Sure do it was called retail. There's always been shovelware on these stores but yeah it's far worse these days with the rise of free development tools

So? Is this illegal?

Yet actiblizzard COD are using AI to make things in COD.

[Michiel1989]

so many devs using it, the fact you can only give one example just means you can't see the difference. How you think studios with like 3-5 people remaster AAA games? you think they handcraft every texture again on a game that was worked on by hundreds of people for a couple years?

God the legs are in fromt of the trolley

The industry has been using AI for over 2 years now. We may not all notice it but it's been here.

I think this highlights why retail and physical is important. Outside of the dollar store PlayStation 2 and Wii games you are never going to encounter asset flips and shoddy releases at a proper gaming retail store.

I can't recall a time where there wasn't some real scummy games on digital storefronts outside of the first maybe 2 months when Xbox and PlayStation started selling games digitally.

Today it feels laboureous and tiring navigating even just the on sale categories in all digital storefronts between the low quality shovelware the outright scams and the million editions of a single game and it's thousands of monetisation packs just seeing games is a chore.

I'd prefer a filter to select game by Capcom or game by Sega as a example

Some AI slop is churned out at an alarming rate on the gaming digital stores. The fact that the big publishers like Steam and Sony are allowing this must mean they are also using AI to monitor and process these generated games for sale.
