The biggest modding site in PC gaming is taking a stance on AI

TL;DR

The PC gaming mods repository Nexus Mods is making disclosures about AI mandatory for uploads of new mods, meaning that mod authors will have to declare "whether AI has been used in their work," the site announced today as part of a big post about AI-generated content on the platform. "One of the most consistent concerns we've heard is that it's not clearly disclosed when AI has been used to create a mod," according to the post from site owner Victor "Foledinho" Folmann.

Nauti's Take

For mod teams, disclosure should become part of the release workflow, with a simple record of which assets, text, or scripts involved AI tools and how. The key question is whether Nexus Mods will verify those declarations and turn them into useful user-facing filters.

That implementation is the part worth watching first.
