One danger with AI assets on itch.io is that they make it easy for spammers to flood the site with garbage, crowding out legit creators. It happened in other marketplaces, and we didn't have this sort of tech years ago. Like on the WordPress theme directory. People complain about things being hard to find on itch.io as it is. To do it on purpose would be disrespectful to them.
Viewing post in Are AI Assets Controversial on Itch io?
Agreed, and I think that any assets using AI generation in any part of its creation
process should be outright prohibited. It's gonna make legitimate,
high-quality assets harder to find if it's allowed, because it'll
encourage spam of low-quality, low-effort assets. I understand that "in
any part of its creation process" is pretty aggressive, but otherwise it
would be difficult to draw the line as to whether or not it should be
allowed. No in-between.
If someone really wants AI-generated assets, they could just generate
it themselves. Isn't that kind of the point of it after all?
