Is there a way to filter out assets made with AI when searching the store? I don’t have a problem with AI assets being in the store, but I personally don’t want to use AI art in my games. Right now I’m trying to find some 2D portrait assets and so many are made with AI these days that it’s almost impossible to find one that isn’t. This would be a very welcome filter. Thanks!
I would also like a slop filter.
I don’t believe there is a way for asset store developers to declare AI content, so that would have to come first before any filter was implemented.
Edit: Looks like the above is incorrect.
There was this thread discussing the topic which devolved into the usual AI debate: Let's talk about the Asset Store: Defining "Made with AI"
With no follow-up from Unity as of yet.
Personally, so long as AI content is allowed on the asset store I don’t have any interest buying anything off it at this point.
Publishers are required to disclose AI use. If a publisher has disclosed AI use in the creation of an asset, this will show up in the disclosure section at the bottom of the product page. The section also includes a description from the publisher of how AI was used.
If a publisher uses AI and does not disclose it they risk having moderation actions taken against them, from the removal of the asset to having their account banned. If there is an asset that appears to use AI but it is not disclosed please report it.
Currently there is no filter to hide assets made with AI but there are ongoing conversations about this topic internally.
Purely AI generated works are not copyrightable (in most places) so you should not allow it on the asset store because anyone can copy it and sell under their name on another store - you create an unending cycle of slop.
All AI generated art risks copyright or trademark infringement, so again a reason against it.
There does not seem a good reason to allow it or the asset tools allowing (often temporarily) generation of AI art & assets inside Unity. People can use common AI generation tools themselves if they want, but it degrades the asset store.
It would be nice if we could at least maintain a personal block list of certain creators.
I appreciate that AI assisted content is going to become more common, but there’s two or three asset store uploaders that are just utterly bombarding entire categories with extremely low quality content with little to no human involvement in their creation.
It’s at the point now where it’s a usability issue for the asset store itself just trying to find other content sandwiched between these shovelware uploads.
@Fragment1 can I please ask you to send me the examples of the publishers in DM?
