A reminder with #SteamNextFest starting: You SHOULD install the extensions that pop up the AI Disclosure in Steam and ignore any game with it.

Because you have to scroll way down to find it. Some users would rather know right up front whether to even bother looking at the game.

I think you have missed the point of it. Just like the extension that warns me when a game has Denuvo in it. These are deciding factors on whether I will look at the game. Or give that company money. So the information should be up front on page load.

Plus, look if the dev/publisher, or franchise (a bit down on the right-hand side of the store page) are known slop peddlers. PlayWay S.A. is a big offender, and pretty much every "triple A" game studio.

There's been some curators on Steam that have been trying to help with this until now, but man, the more and more slop that arrives each week, and the non-disclosed stuff, is making it really hard for them to keep up/stay motivated. This should help a bit. A.I. slop needs to be banned.

Solo developer here! I've spent the last year building Ponder Thy Realm, a fantasy observation game where you spot magical anomalies before reality unravels. No AI used in development. Thanks for giving indie devs a place to share their work! store.steampowered.com/app/4561800

We gotchu. Our game is Denari, it's a Hack n Slasher about a kid fight for his people against an invading empire and a Warlord trying to capture their goddess. None of the artificial in this baby. Just us and our own beautifully dubious intelligence. bsky.app/profile/astr...

Hmmm. How can you tell with this that it's using modern GenAI vs good old fashioned vocal synthesis (and neural net based chord sequencers for example) as have existed for decades? I'm concerned we're going to be blanket blocking genuine AI use but I don't have a good solution.

Problem is, there‘s a lot of games that use this disclosure box to say they don‘t use AI. So I‘d recommend actually reading the box instead of blanket ignoring all games that have some text in their disclosure

Oh I didn‘t mean the extension, I‘m more telling the people who use it to please actually read the box :) This is also why a blanket filter on games with AI disclosures is probably not good (Steam should add a yes/no checkbox probably to filter by, but that‘s not a thing atm)

I don't do that, or recommend others do, because there seems to be a practice of devs filling that space out saying that they are not using GenAI. So the chance for false positives are high.

Crazy that Steam/Valve lets you ignore tags from appearing but there's no AI Creation tag? Even if it goes beyond the tag system, they should have something that lets me never have to see an AI slop game to begin with...
