SteamDB now lets you filter out Steam games with AI Generation

If you don't want Steam games that have AI Generation in them, you might want to check out the new filter on SteamDB. Making it a bit easier to get rid of them from your searches. ICYMI: Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages.

This new filter depends on the AI disclosures that Valve require developers to put on their Steam pages, so it's only as accurate as the developers who actually fill it out accurately.

On any of the lists on SteamDB, you need to open the "Filter by user tags" sidebar section and enter in "AI Content Disclosed" and then either pick to have them or not. Example shot below of the SteamDB Steam Next Fest page filtered to just demos, and no AI content:

Hopefully Valve directly will soon add a proper filter to Steam for this. But until then, the community site SteamDB keeps showing how useful it can be.

Activision also recently (finally) admitted it uses AI for Call of Duty, with the Call of Duty Steam page now having an AI content disclosure that reads "Our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in game assets". Players have spotted a few places where it was likely used for cosmetics like some loading screens and player calling cards but Activision haven't specified where it's used. If the likes of Activision can't get away from disclosing it on Steam, hopefully Valve will keep ensuring more developers list it properly.

Unfortunately the filter doesn't seem to work very well with demos. There seems to be some kind of metadata inconsistency 😕

For example, there are games that have no AI declaration on their Steam page, but have "aicontenttype 1" in the metadata listed on SteamDB. Also some of the games that *do* have an AI declaration, and "aicontenttype 1", are shown in SteamDB's list of demos even when the filter is set to exclude them. The specific case that tipped me off was seeing Windward Horizon's Demo in the list.

Sadly, AI content disclaiming doesn't actually tell you how good or bad the game in question is, just that someone used tools to create a game, one of those that happen to be Gen AI.
Then again, technophobia is real, so more power for being able to customize your searches.

Well, also ethical standards. They're real too. Just ask all the striking voice artists.
