Comment on itch.io will soon let you filter games with genAI disclosures out of your search results on the site, after admitting it was previously "critically lacking"

  This was already happening to some extent during Steam NextFest I think, so unfortunately I think you’re right.

  Obviously. That’s why I keep saying this won’t work. The only way to stop it is for stores to curate content and they’ll never do that.

  hopefully they can be tagged by users not just developers

  I guess having a filter is better than none so people who respect the platform will tag their AI generated stuff. But yeah, this doesn’t fix the major issue at all. This is why many open source apps lifted their ban on AI-assisted PRs, there’s no point and you can’t prove whether something was made by AI or not. Making a ban or filters just encourages mob mentality and people falsely accusing genuine human effort as “hey this looks like AI!!!”

  P.S. I’ve been told by a friend in the industry that pretty much every AAA company is using AI in all sorts of ways, but you bet they’re not going to put an AI warning because that’s bad PR. Bleh.
