My opinion it would only mitigate it somewhat. A tiny bit. But matter of fact is, the word 'artist' is short. Convenient to use. If anyone in their right mind think people will just use "Content generator" instead of a much shorter, long since established expression of 'artist' they are dead wrong.
Maybe I am just too optimistic, but yes, it's simply convenient and faster to use and understand. Most people understand the difference, luckily.

A "Content Generator Artist" if you will. That's too long, so we can shorten it to "Con-Artist".

Its not AI, that is part of the underlying issue, its an elaborate algorithm that scrapes the net to compile a response within (human) trained parameters

The example I'd draw is too the sign industry, there used to a be skilled tradesmen who painted them, printing took off and now signs are rarely painted... doesn't mean there are not signs or people still deciding what they say.

Hahah, too true. The major issue I see in games with AI at the moment is that it obfuscates original IP so the spam game crowd who cant use Real or Other Artists works in their rushed cash grab can get away with AI as the IP owners are not yet in a position to pursue them. But that is an issue waaaay beyond a smut forum to resolve, we are just along for the ride.

The difference between than and now ( been here almost from the start) is not AI but the overall amount of projects. I too dislike to miss out on anything potentially good so the filter isn't for me that said if you update your project and find it on page 4 or 5 of the LU within a day as a Dev you start to think about smaller updates next time around...I get it...as a player I hate it still...not an AI specific though.
Starting my Patreon now. Will have the game finished in 5 minutes while using AI. I'll be the next DarkCookie.
The satire hits home hopefully as by numbers provided are non-AI Dev's really leaving? As pointed out many times if you don't want to see it the exclude filter is the way to go as is the support of a non-AI

All of this doesn't make sense to me.

As a dev, you shouldn't rely solely on F95Zone, so it doesn't matter if your game ends up on the fourth page within the day, and as a player having a website that updates so many games a day it's amazing.
It means you can check F95Zone at least once a day, and check out a lot of potentially amazing games. Especially since the big push of updates happen in the weekend anyway.

If you just look at the LU, your game might be on page 4 or 5 but when you search by include / exclude tag you'll find your game is really on page 1 or 2.

By just including dystopian setting tag, your game is listed 2nd on the first page.

it’s over man, this site is done. just ai slop everywhere, real games buried under an endless pile of soulless garbage. devs leaving because why even try when some guy can shit out a "game" in 5 mins with ai and people eat it up. soon it’s just gonna be a wasteland of uncanny, dead eyed messes and nothing else. it used to be fun, but now it’s just depressing watching it all rot. not gonna stick around to watch this site die anymore. farewell
And yet, you're here. Admit that you're a hopeless addict to this site and it's content roulette. Admit. You can't quit. You always find yourself coming back here, digging around for some gold, or at the very least a nice looking copper. I'm the same man, I've dug through months of shit I'm not interested in, always aiming for that possibility that some good shit will come. And I'm chained by that. I can't get it out of my mind. There's always a "what if?" What if some masterpiece like MGQ, violated heroine, or mirage defection for example, comes? I can't miss it. That's how you think, isn't it? Don't worry man, we got you.

Although I can't get your rant with AI. I don't care about the art that much, as long as the plot and gameplay is good enough. Unfortunately, that's already a hard thing to find.

They haven't logged back in since they posted that. Although I am skeptical, as well, I would hold off making judgment until that changes.
Oh, I misread the last seen shit. Whatever, I still think he'll come back eventually, because fomo is a cruel bitch.

Unless there's a site better than this one? If there is, someone please show me the way. I won't complain. This is the best I know so far.

Go to your local Christian church and ask for their website, it'll be the best thing you'll know. Maybe they have a newsletter as well, so you won't miss any of the important events.

Regardless of what other people say, I agree. But this has been happening since the dawn of free video game libraries (OH do you remember the infamous early 2000s miniclip/Y8/adobe flash garbage?)/pirate sites (cos F95 IS technically a PIRATED content site), so the influx of shovelware/abandonware or whatever you want to call it is expected. For instance, I love mom/son incest content, but from this genre I have genuinely enjoyed like 4-5 games that tick my preferences (despite trying out almost every game uploaded here), the rest are completely ignored or used as a quick fap material. But I don't go into those games threads and tell them to burn. If you don't enjoy something then you don't enjoy something, no need to make it a big deal. Tbf, just move on.
