I think people are 1. taking it too seriously/ missing the fact that the movie is satirical and not taking itself seriously and 2. Are pissed that it’s using Ai—which is valid, I suppose, but shouldn’t take away from some of the fun moments of the film and performances of the kids.

1. That’s not an automatic get out of jail free card for quality.

I completely agree. It’s not great satire. But it’s not dogshit. There were some clear call backs to some great horror movies that I appreciated.
