Because what makes games good is creativity and ideas. LLMs cannot do these. And slop is by not noticeable to most people.
AI can in effect be very creative. Quality issues tend to be related to game assets generated by diffusion models.
There is a sort of feedback loop of kids growing up playing games dreaming of making games later in life leading to a competitive industry with a culture that values skills. The effect of AI is to raze every aspect of this to the ground.
