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"

    Unfortunately, if the selfhosted community is any indication, genai apps will just not disclose. (This is frustrating to watch, the mods put in a lot of effort)

      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.

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

      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.

    Unenforceable on the code side of things. And increasingly unenforceable on the art side too as AI has moved towards procedural generation of graphics with code rather than directly creating images with diffusion.

    Only way would be to force devs to submit their source code alongside the binary. Some games do this on the virtue of how they were built (Balatro being a good example being written in Lua), but this will never be something the gaming studios accept en masse.

    I hope this works out in practice. Either way, it’s good that they give this option.
