A touch of AI is all it takes to trigger backlash, as a promising new indie falls afoul of slop skeptics (www.pcgamer.com)

Vapor World: Over The Mind is a Soulslike Metroidvania with an evocative, painterly art style reminiscent of Lies of P and the narrative platformers of Playdead. According to Korean studio Alive Inc, the game had 100,000 wishlists just before its early access launch on August 19, mostly on the strength of a demo available since January 2025.

But what should have been a triumphant early access launch went pear shaped very quickly. At launch, few talked about the quite distinctive worldbuilding or the parry-heavy combat. Instead, all focus was trained entirely on something absent from the popular demo: very obvious AI use.

It is NOT fine as a "search engine". If you even read AI summaries you're dumber this year than you were last year.

To be fair, ai summarys and using it as a search engine are two VERY fucking different tasks. Like night and fucking day.

It also doesn't help the ai models in charge of the summaries on most search engines are some of the stupidest lowest quality pieces of shit we have.

A model told to actually do a search properly is functionally no different than if you or I did it. And will actually be able to do the job properly. They are very good at this sorta work load.

You ask it to go though a bunch of summaries then summarize those summaries and do use in like 1 seconds. You of course are getting fucking slop.

You aren't giving it the time or information needed to do the fucking job right. They arnt magic machines they can't do shit instantly.

Our AI user humans are some of the stupidest lowest quality pieces of shit we have as well.

I'm sorry, but I'm certain that the average AI summary beats/matches what the average person gets from a normal search. You're acting like people before AI didn't just believe whatever the first or second link told them, for most cases.

If you've ever even read the summary of a study, you're in the top 10% of "people that research online".

So basically people burn more energy while doing the same shit as before. Yeah you're really selling it. Generally we should be fixing stupidly instead of letting billionaire parasites leach off of it.
