EU recently passed a law requiring companies to label AI generated content so they might soon be forced to implement that if they wish to continue being available in EU countries.

World discoverability is already godawful enough without slop making it that much worse

The uprise of AI in VRChat makes me not only not want to come back to it, but to actually actively boycott it.

I'm sick of slop, and normally I don't make an unconstructive emotionally driven reply on a post on canny since it contributes very little. But this is where i break my rule.

I'm sick of it. Its a cancer.

I'm so sick of the slop everywhere in real life let alone virtually, seconding this. VRChat at it's core is a creative community and GenAI is the antithesis. I'm not even asking for a full ban I wanna be able to avoid it just like I do on Steam with it's required disclosures.

GenAI content has no place in a creative space. It is literally the opposite of creativity, and if it goes unchecked and undeclared it undermines the very concept of genuine user creativity.

VRchat would not be the vibrant, diverse, creative space that it is if it were populated with GenAI slop at the start, and there is still absolutely no place for it now.

At the very least, VRchat should make this declaration mandatory, and discovery of a world publishing without doing so should be grounds for reporting it to VRchat moderation for mandatory adding of the genAI flag regardless of the creators wish to hide this fact.

If you must let genAI speak for itself, make it speak apart from genuine creativity, so that the clear indication of what users prefer in the worlds they choose not only to spend the finite time they have for VR, but the finite time they have with friends to make new memories in VR.

Despite what 'leading' 'tech' 'experts' saying to the contrary, the technology is not meant for asset generation. Hallucinations, overcomplications, inefficient topography, and so on leads to massive, unoptimized 3D assets, and ugly urine-filtered textures.

If the blatant world-wide plagiarism isn't enough to make you wince, then the incompetence of the process must be taken very seriously. Hold the creators accountable for their unoptimized shortcuts.

Please give us this. ai generated assets lag my machine so bad. I don't like wandering into that stuff blindly

I support this idea and want it implemented. But also I really don't want witchhunts to be a thing. I've had my share of unfounded AI accusations and it hurts when you're wrongly called AI.

I dont care much about it being used in group banners, but the one thing that does bother me is AI generated world thumbnails that are clearly meant to depict the world itself and are therefore misleading to whats actually in the world.

I agree, it should be reguired to declare through a world tag and users should be able to filter out that tag in world searches or in the default world tabs (Popular, Newly Updated, etc...). I've been wanting to be ablw to hide them for some time so they dont show up when I'm looking for new worlds.
