**itch.io added a "No AI" filter to its search results, so you can browse only projects whose creators say they didn't use generative AI.**

The indie game store [said on Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/itch.io/post/3mzezjvqexs2h) Monday evening that it was adding generative AI disclosure filtering to more parts of the site, "including our search results page." The filter relies on creators' own answers. A project gets the No AI tag only when its creator explicitly says no on itch.io's AI disclosure form, [gaming.net explains](https://www.gaming.net/itch-io-expands-ai-disclosure-filters-to-search-results/), so pages that never filled in the form drop out too. When we checked Tuesday evening, [itch.io showed](https://itch.io/games/tag-no-ai) 433,485 games with the No AI tag, out of [1,773,968 games](https://itch.io/games) in total.

The same evening, itch.io [made the disclosure form required](https://bsky.app/profile/itch.io/post/3mzewzv54dc2h) to create or edit pages in its tabletop, books, comics and soundtracks categories. Game assets have required it for two years. It also [posted](https://bsky.app/profile/itch.io/post/3mzev6ghw5s2x) that it had "just deleted a couple terabytes of ai slop," and pointed creators to its [quality guidelines](https://itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines), which say to avoid "excessive amounts of automatically generated or AI-generated content." Two days earlier, itch.io [said](https://bsky.app/profile/itch.io/post/3mz7vswlnbs23) the number of game pages created per day had doubled in the past two months. [Engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2305699/itchio-adds-a-filter-for-games-with-gen-ai-disclosures/) notes that Steam also has disclosure rules but no store filter for them.

*What this means for you:* The No AI filter is only as good as creators' honesty, and a missing tag doesn't mean a game uses AI. Many creators may simply not have answered the form yet.
