@Eldwood @donihunter

Thanks for the breakdown, both of you! That’s actually a super interesting point about how the platform categorizes AI Assisted vs AI Generated.

Eldwood, what you’re describing is basically the ultimate sign of the times: total erosion of trust. When people start assuming that untagged work is hidden AI, or that "No AI" tags are lies, it shows we’ve reached a point where the noise itself creates paranoia.

And donihunter, fair point on the search parameters! Even if we take the broader AI-assisted metric, it highlights exactly why this debate is so messy: "assisted" covers everything from someone using an LLM to proofread a dialogue line, to full-blown automated asset spam.

But whether the flood is 100% human-made noise or 50% AI-assisted production, the end result for the player is identical: cognitive overload and distribution chokeholds. That’s precisely the core of the problem we're unpacking.

Read this thread /t/4309690/generative-ai-disclosure-tagging

There is no "vs." here. And how this is done changed within the last day. And it might change again.

If you want to, you can combine the sub ai filters by copying the url parts.

/games/ai-audio/ai-code/ai-graphics/ai-text/last-30-days That is 10k games.

/games/ai-audio/ai-code/ai-graphics/ai-text That is 22k games.

So almost half of the ai for everything games was uploaded in the last month. This is worrysome.

Thanks for linking that thread and breaking down the numbers with the sub-filters (ai-audio, ai-code, etc.). It actually maps out the exact reality we're navigating right now: the platform is flooded, and the line between assisted tools, automated workflows, and generated content is a permanent grey area.

That's precisely why a Jam like Humans VS AI matters. Instead of pretending the tools don't exist or getting lost in endless moderation metrics, we invite creators to step into the ring, take control of the medium—whatever they choose to use—and make something with a deliberate, conscious artistic stance.

On a broader note, I honestly think social platforms should take a page out of Itch.io’s Jam model. Right now, algorithms treat content like an endless conveyor belt. What we actually need is a return to curation, editorial lines, and physical print publishing.

Virtual museums and curated Jams act as an open invitation for crowds to gather and dialogue around a curator’s strong conceptual lens. Channeling the debate this way is their real added value: by establishing solid artistic foundations, they provide a grounding starting point from which infinite user perspectives and discussions can naturally diverge.

Generalizing the role of digital curators across creation platforms is the ultimate antidote to both human and AI slop. It shifts us away from algorithmic noise and puts human intention, critical selection, and artistic perspective back at the center. Always appreciate the sharp insights and the debate! 🚀
