Viewing post in I'm dismayed that itch.io decided to hide which games/assets are AI and which aren't

If I search for the "No AI" tag, click on any result, then click on "more information", I can see "No AI" among the list of tags. So you can see if something is marked as "No AI".

However, the converse for the "AI Generated" tag is not true. If I search for the "AI Generated" tag, click on any result, then click on "more information", I can't see "AI Generated" in the list of tags.

I don't know why it works this way, but if it's AI-safe, then it should have the "No AI" tag which is visible, and if it doesn't have a visible "No AI" tag, then it's not AI-safe.

Interestingly, I can get some search results by searching for both "No AI" and "AI Generated" at the same time.

"No AI" is just a tag someone made. Just like the Horny-Eyeballs tag and the thousands of other tags. This has nothing to do with the AI generation disclosure section of the project page, which is still unavailable in search.

Horny Eyeballs. Hah. ;-)

But seriously, the way the ai disclosure currently works for users to filter with, is with tags. Read the announcement. https://itch.io/t/4309690/generative-ai-disclosure-tagging

This here is an automatic tag: https://itch.io/games/tag-ai-generated-graphics It does not appear on the tag list on such games. Unless someone chose it manually.

So yes, no-ai was used before and very likely currently by developers. But it is also given automatically by the disclosure. And the way I understand it, it should only be visible if manually chosen.

The problem is, that the new meta tag is not a true meta tag. The ai tags existed before as regular tags.

What I call meta tag is everything not added to the tag list by selecting tags and genres. You can have 1 main genre and 10 freely chosen tags.

The ai disclosure should not appear in tags at all in that info box. There should be a separate entry. Like "made with". And that should appear only when there is information available. Like "made with". You do not inform players that a game was not made with Unity. For assets that might be different, but it was said that assets without disclosure would be delisted after a grace period.

We shall see how this works out and gets changed over time to be a usefull feature. You currently cannot filter for no-ai-assets, only positive for graphics, sound, story, code. Some people would like a general no-ai, but others's might want a no-ai-assets filter, since there is mandatory ai disclosure for assets. Story and code are not assets. And code is not content. And some people might want to avoid ai narrative, but would not care for the other things either way.
