I second that but on a store-wide level.

While I don’t have issues with solo-developers making use of AI-generated content, I don’t want to use it myself. For me it is fairly annoying to look through dozens of asset packs on the store page, find something I like and then, often have to go through each individual item and discover its AI-generated and unusable for me.

So it would be nice if new projects have a mandatory field: Uses AI-generated content -> Yes/No And it would be nice for the individual user to able to filter the store on that category or more specifically hide AI-generated content from their store experience.

Same goes for the NSFW. I personally don’t mind it, but I can see people not wanting to see stuff under other tags for personal and professional reasons. But fortunately, here the appropiate tags for NSFW already exist and a filter for that would be nice as well.

And to bring it back to the GameJams, of course those options could be included for those purposes as well.

Edit: Alternatively and maybe even better: itch could blur/grey out the thumbnails and/or put a visible warning in it, when the filter is active, instead of hiding them. That way those items don’t neccessarily lose “discoverability”/store-positioning but are easily recogniseable as content you might not want to click on.

I think that would be a fair compromise for end-users wanting to filter stuff, creators of such material not wanting to lose potential customers and itch itself having to balance both.
