The new filter will remove any game that has a generative AI disclosure from search results. Itch mandates that games containing generative AI content carry the disclosure, explaining exactly how AI was used in the game’s development.

So self-reports mostly.

    Still makes the general opinion clear, and opens the door for actual moderation if required.

    Ignoring this could take down a small fry in the industry like itch, a couple thousand TBs of slop has to be paid for by someone and I can't imagine their margins are massive.

    This year's Steam Next Fest really made me worried we're entering an Indiepocalypse 2.0 due to the increasing prevalence of AI. And it's a shame that Valve and GOG have done nothing to prevent this.

    AI disclosures are nebulous and hard to enforce, but I'm really glad Itch has rules in place, and it'll probably be my go-to place to get indie games as a result.
