Steam is already filled with low quality games, without any AI. But they're mostly either unremarkable clones or one-off shitposts made as a reaction to something, not "low-effort trash to get rich quick". This scheme doesn't make much sense on Steam which is organized like a ladder where games compete for attention, unlike the books on Amazon which is flat in structure, and your low-effort garbage can pass for a legitimate book at first and is guaranteed to attract someone.
Cheap AI-generated features will fill every game, of course. It's inevitable and will soon pass, just like every trend - bloom shaders, piss filters, cloning minecraft and battle royale, etc. Some of it will stay, like hiding the lack of developer-hours behind the low-res pixelart. Some of it will be even good!
