github IsThereAnyDeal/AugmentedSteam v4.5.1

14 hours ago

In the last release, we have added review summaries by VaporLens. That has caused a bunch of negative feedback, so I feel like we need to talk about that.

If you are a member of our Discord server, you probably know my stance on AI. I can say that I am not using and will not use AI or AI tools on either IsThereAnyDeal or Augmented Steam, but that does not extend to our 3rd parties we get data from or stores we cover. I can't ensure nor enforce that 3rd parties won't use AI in some way. Granted, VaporLens is different, because it's built around AI. I think the idea of VaporLens is solid, and provides additional value, it's just unfortunate they use AI to get there. Ultimately I thought the benefits outweigh the cons, which, some of you, have not agreed with.

It was also added turned on by default, because all new features, that don't change current behavior but add stuff are usually added turned on by default. There's an option for you to turn it off, if you don't like it, which I naively thought is going to be enough.

As I said, I did get a bunch of negative reviews because of addition of VaporLens, so I'm putting this up for vote, I'm now leaving this up to you whether it will stay as a feature or will get removed in the next release. Let me know how you feel about this - write an addon review, message me, tell me on Discord, whatever works for you.

Changelog:

  • added option to turn off SteamPeek section
  • fixed empty SteamPeek section showing up
  • fixed highlights and tags in bundle pages
  • fixed export of other users' wishlists
  • added option to collapse VaporLens
  • added color gradients for VaporLens importance score
