I picked up a bunch of games on sale recently. Every one was a game I had already wishlisted and did research on. I’m not even paying paltry steam sale prices for AI games. All the AI flood has done is make me less likely to impulse buy an indie game because generally I’ll have to look into the company first. I used to just impulse buy a lot of <$10 indie and friend slop games without even reading the reviews. Unfortunately I can’t do that anymore because the whole niche is flooded with AI.
My concern is not that the game will be bad, it’s that it’s AI at all. Plenty of AI games just don’t disclose they used AI, or the disclosure is inaccurate. I’m not interested in engaging with AI media at all so I don’t want to buy it in the first place, even if I can return it.
I feel the same way about Apple. They should have a tag for whether the developer used a Mac. We need to pick apart all the tools that developers use and boycott the ones that upset us!

Is the refund policy not good enough to just buy and refund later If it s shit?

That would require you to play the games you buy, which is an inefficient way to hoard games. Nobody has time for that!
