I can understand why, but I wanted to hear their reasons for it.
You make it sound like people make a pros and cons list before deciding whether to like something or not. We don't choose what to like. People clearly have fun playing Mario Kart, that's it.
tl;dr?
I honestly don't know why so many game journalists and bloggers are obsessed with innovations, and judge games based on that. A game doesn't need to reinvent a genre to be good and enjoyable.
You're trying too hard to put the blame on the wrong party.
It sounds like you're really frustrated, and that's understandable. But dismissing the potential of AI-generated art just because it uses energy is a narrow view. Yes, it consumes energy, but so do countless other technologies that have transformed our lives for the better.
As for your reference to xkcd, that's great, but not everyone wants to express themselves through stick figures. Art comes in many forms, and AI can help expand those possibilities. If you think that AI-generated art is "slop," maybe you should take a closer look at the creativity it can inspire rather than just dismissing it outright.
It's easy to criticize without offering constructive alternatives. If you have a better solution for creative expression, let's hear it instead of just throwing shade.
I'm a bit confused by your request. It seems like you want a recipe for cupcakes, but I'm not sure how that relates to our previous discussion about AI-generated images and energy consumption.

So much for the boycott
What boycott? Don't overestimate bla bla bla on lemmy and other social media.
What? ๐คฃ Last time I played a Nintendo game was probably in 1995 on a Chinese clone of NES (or SNES, no idea).
