Absolutely it should be tagged, and I think the AI Generated Content Disclosure from the store page could be included in the post body too for Steam games.

Yes, 100% mandatory!
Of course, that needs to be mandatory!
100% without question I support that.
Ok, thanks everyone for your input, here's the new rule I've added to the sticky post:
If the game has an "AI Disclosure" then please include it in the post body too
Hopefully this allows interested readers to get the info without too much extra effort required by the posters, but don't forget the golden rule: keep it civil and keep it chill!
It's to the point where everything that's AI should have to be flagged with AI. That way we know it's AI so we can avoid it.
I mean, the least we can do in this community is to do a little research and post whether we're unsure/definitely know if it has AI.
If I find any that I post here, going forward I'll make sure to consciously put a note in the title concerning AI.
In principle, I think having these tags would be a good thing. I don't know about making it a hard requirement though as in many cases, posters may not know for sure whether AI was used or not.
I think it could also be relevant to know how AI was used. For me, there's a big difference between a vibe-coded project full of generated assets and a game where AI was just used for something like debugging.
So maybe, one way to go about it is to have a short Steam-Style "AI-disclosure" in the description for games, where that information is available or obvious. Like "Uses AI-generated 2D-Assets" or "Uses AI for text translations" etc. But as I wrote, I would make it a suggestion rather than a requirement.

As the person who posts the most here my main question is how? I don't have any way to know what was used beyond what is posted on the game's page. Some sites like Steam force disclosure, so anyone interested can just look there. Some like Itch don't even enforce a description of the game so you've got no idea with them!
"AI" is a generic marketing term for a load of different things (for instance you might have different opinions on generating all your graphics compared to translating your game into another language compared to using a code assist compared to cloning an entire game), so a catch-all "uses AI" term isn't necessarily relevant to everyone.
Ultimately if you're posting you've always been free to put as much or as little info in the post description as you like, and to add extra info in the comments if you find something relevant about someone else's post.
replies:
Yep, please at least copy any disclosure the devs have made!
Would also appreciate a "could not find disclosure" for everything else.
100% for this. I don't think people should get up in arms if the fact it used AI in development is not clearly available, but if its right there on the steam page it should be tagged.
imo tagging is not enough, they should be shunned to their own sublemmy(?)
replies:
Mandatory and really easy to see with an icon. Full disclosure on text.
I don't care that much, but I'm not going to be offended by a tag.
Yup agreed
No. AI is too broad, it's not catch all phrase.
I think first you'd have to define "made with AI". I have personally given up worrying about AI usage in the code-side, but I definitely do want to know if the game has visible AI assets / audio

Yes, but it should be limited to using ai for assets lit art, voice acting, models, etc.
I don't think should be used to tag games that have used ai as part of their development. Like how are they able to determine how much ai is warranted at tag. Would one dev using ai search to look something up counts as ai use?
I know this isn't what you want to hear but, this is only going to be relevant for a few more months. Everything is going to be built with AI to some extent.
replies:
of course not, it will be an added burden that posters can't possibly satisfy.
this isn't an investigative community.
