It does not matter if you tag it or not.
See here
https://itch.io/games/tag-cats/tag-cooking/tag-no-ai
It shows a game of nnda appearing in the "no-ai" tag, despite not showing the "no-ai" tag in the information box of that game.
Uhm?
To my knowledge all the no-ai tags and the ai-generated tags that you can see in the info boxes were selected by the devloper in the 10 tags to select or write in. Both those tags were in use before the AI disclosure changes. And they can still be selected.
Just like you are considering to manually use one of your 10 tags to say "no-ai".
I assume this is about the tagging or lack of tagging and the project still showing up under the tag regardless.
The announcement of the feature:
https://itch.io/t/4309690/generative-ai-disclosure-tagging
If you select “yes,” then your page will automatically receive the AI Generated tag.
For projects that select “no,” they will receive the tag No AI.
Note: It’s not necessary to use these “automatic” tags manually when classifying your page. We may rename or modify them to fit future classification needs, so please correctly fill out the disclosure form instead of manually tagging.
"Receiving" the tags is not exactly correct. The projects will decidedly not get a tag. But they will be searchable via the tag search. This results in what you see: your project appears in tag-no-ai, but it will not have no-ai in the info box under tags. Same for the 5 AI tags. Any AI tags you do see, where chosen manually as regular tags.
As leafo said, they might change the feature in the future. Maybe there will be a different button for filtering. Maybe they will display a meta information section with more detailed information in case a project is disclosed as having AI. Just like the info box currently expands on different kinds of existing meta information. The secion about "made with" and "average session" and others will also only display, if there is any information. Just like I elaborated in my wish below, how it should look. Non information should not be displayed, but information should. Not having AI is not information to me.
But unfortunately, they currently do not display the information of a game using AI. But to my reading of the quality guidelines, games should have had disclosure even before that disclosure feature. In the description. Maybe my reading is not correct and the context is different. But it still says this in the quality guidelines (in an easy to miss sentence, so maybe there is a context issue in my understanding.)
This whole implementation feels like a quick hack to make it work. A makeshift solution for that grace period with the assets that is mentioned in the announcement. So that users can already use some of that functionality.
Ah, I see…
Even though I didn’t explicitly put the No AI tag. My project is still shown under the No AI tags list, because I picked No in the AI generation disclosure.
