The ai filters are not named like their tags.

https://itch.io/games/ai-assisted  = https://itch.io/games/tag-ai-generated

https://itch.io/games/ai-graphics = https://itch.io/games/tag-ai-generated-graphics

The "assisted" appears on every project that has answered yes to the ai disclosure along with the selected categories. And as OP has pointed out, the assisted can be mistaken to mean something other than for example that ai assets were used for graphics. It's redundant, as it's meaning is only, that one or more of graphics, sound, text or code are selected. It has no other meaning. But assisted does imply other things.

If you click on the filters in the more information box, it will open a new browse filter selection on the left side, just like released / in development. Or the platform filter.

But there is no formal way of entering the specifics about ai usage. Like ai made, hand edited. Or coloring done by ai. Just go browse Steam for some ai games to see how it looks on a big store.

Personally, I feel it’s overly generous to allow most of the modern types of AI in games, books, and assets. “Assisted” is a euphemism. The wording doesn’t need to be that soft. I wouldn’t have been anywhere near as accommodating to the slop on the site -or- to excuses about world-destroying chatbots if it were my decision.

There are too few spaces left that put up any type of resistance to the destruction and corruption happening.

But anyhow, it’s not my decision, Leafo is making an effort at nuance, and the OP is only trying to communicate clearly and accurately.

My thought is that if people are wondering how a game here was made, they’ll read the project description first. Just make a note in the description. Devlogs help with longer descriptions about the development process.

This site doesn’t have the same culture as Steam, where the focus is on popularity and profit.

Itch.io users read casual devlogs.

And back to my first point, there is more detail in the dashboard disclosure than the yes / no question, and the detail is available to players who want to dig for it.
