AI slop in games/software erodes trust — buyers want to know before paying
Pain point
Consumers are actively refusing to buy products touched by generative AI (vibe-coded launcher, AI-upscaled portraits, "AI swarm" game). They have no reliable way to detect it pre-purchase.
Signal
Very strong, recurs across **three independent threads** — Epic (~1.8K, top comment 1,208: "let me put my credit card info into a thing that's proudly vibe coded"), Shogun 2 remaster at "overwhelmingly negative" (~380, "AI imagery is horrendous, some portraits are robot faces"), s&box (~831, "AI generated crap", 659-upvote comment).
Opportunity
"AI Audit" — a browser extension + community database overlaying Steam/Epic store pages with crowd-verified AI-usage flags (art, VO, code), linked to evidence screenshots. Feasible fast (extension + crowdsourced DB); monetize via premium curator feeds, press/industry data licensing. Harder v2: automated AI-art detection on store screenshots.
