Itch.io Introduces Filter for Games with Generative AI Disclosures
Key points
- Itch.io added a "No AI" filter for games.
- Filter reduces game listings from 1.77M to under 425K.
- Itch.io has policies against excessive AI content.
- Creators are asked to disclose generative AI use.
New AI Content Filter Implemented
Itch.io, a game hosting platform, has introduced a new filter option for users to identify and exclude games that utilize generative AI. This "No AI" filter is now available in the browsing menu and integrated into the search functionality, addressing a previously identified gap in the platform's features.
Impact on Game Listings
Applying the new "No AI" filter significantly reduces the number of visible projects. For example, when applied to games, the total number of projects decreased from over 1.77 million to less than 425,000. This indicates a substantial portion of content on the platform either uses or is disclosed as using generative AI.
Existing Platform Policies
Itch.io already has policies in place regarding generative AI. The platform prohibits "uploading excessive amounts of automatically generated or AI-generated content," classifying such actions as spam. Additionally, creators are requested to disclose when they use generative AI in their projects, though the consequences for non-disclosure are not specified.
Comparison with Other Platforms
While Itch.io has implemented this filter, other larger gaming marketplaces like Steam also have rules concerning generative AI disclosures. However, Steam currently lacks a direct filter option for users to exclude such content from their browsing experience. The introduction of this filter by Itch.io provides users with more control over the content they encounter.
