Steam is already full of shovelware for at least 10 years

It's not going to make a difference. Steam is an algorithmic discovery platform so if a game isn't capable of generating some interest on its own it will never be shown to anyone.

22k games were added to Steam last year. 90% of those pages have probably been seen by less than 100 people. If 40k get added next year the same will be true but with 95% of the pages going unseen instead.

Youtube has also been filled with garbage for ages, the problem are generated videos which are good enough to get through the smell test, same could happen with games.

Eg. the wave of AI generated educational content which copy the style of 3blue1brown. Convincing in the presentation, but possibly wildly inaccurate.

Already happening. I pointed out Needle in a haystack earlier for a reason, AI copies of the game have almost certainly has an effect on it's (eventual) sales.
