This looks really cool! You have a surprisingly permissive genAI policy though, only excluding "fully produced with AI and little to no human involvement." I would feel that a project that used many or even some generated text or images would violate the spirit of "handcrafted ttrpg content."

Fully generated AI content is excluded, and there's also required disclosure from authors for whether they used AI (and how they used it) with a saved opt-out filter when searching. I'd be interested to hear about how you feel this could be implemented differently - open to ideas and evolution!

personally, I think allowing any form of genAI in your store makes itch .io a harder competitor for your site. They also allow genAI content with tagging and a filter. The audience you want to find with "handcrafted ttrpg content" as a tagline will be against the inclusion of any generated content

Agreed in principle, but the complication is what constitutes "using AI" these days. Like if I search for something about a game and Google's AI overview shows me something that I then use as an idea in a game, do I need to say that I used AI? Or do I have to ignore that idea?

I agree that a "No AI whatsoever" policy is impossible to enforce (or define!) and would likely discourage self-reporting. Maybe disallowing any *generated* content? PS filters and spellcheck aren't generative, but telling chatgpt "make a picture of a dragon" or "turn my notes into a paragraph" is.
