I love GOG but I am concerned about their lack of transparency regarding AI slop.

At least you know they can never enshitify what you have already bought and downloaded.

Isn't this the same with steam?

Devs have an option to put DRM on. If the game doesn't have DRM on steam, you van do the same thing, if it has DRM, then it isn't available on GoG anyway.

At least that is how I understood it.

Sometimes, and it isn't as transparent as GOG.
