Require content using generative AI to declare it
°sky
Content that uses generative AI should have to declare that it is being used, and should be able to be filtered out of search results and recommendations by the user.

I hate to say this, but I think with the VRC team's lack of response to our criticisms over the past week (and the news that they sneakily tried using an AI image for the login screen before taking it down and acting like nothing happened), It's likely that they've already heard our outcry and have chosen to ignore it. There is a decent chance that they are not on our side with this, and that possibility depresses me greatly.
I've been a supporter of this platform for a long time, for the better part of a decade now. It's held a special place in my heart, and I've put my all into making content for it... It all just feels like a spit in the face to see the signs of the direction VRChat might be going in now.
Here I was, actively financially supporting this platform and making content for it, wishing for its success... but now I'm seeing the price of that. If the price for success is the platform losing its very identity, then you can count me out. There has to be another way that doesn't involve caving under the pressure of people who parade around technology that steals from people without their consent.
I apologize for the wall of text, but this is an issue I'm deeply passionate on. I'll be following this situation closely and I'm still holding out hope that there can be some change... but if things continue to go the way they're going, then I'll be halting all my support for VRChat.

Derafrog made a very good video on this problem. I believe VRChat is actively advertising and promoting the use of AI with their creators. The silence is them speaking, saying that AI is ok to use on their platform.
I highly reccomend that you stop paying for VRC+ and not to spend on the creator economy.
This enshitification is disgusting.

VRChat is now using AI generated image on their website

The AI image shows briefly before full video loads that shows an actual world:

UPDATE: They just removed the AI image and replaced it with a frame from the video

Patroll what a way to spit in the face of everyone who makes real content in this community. this is absolutely awful behaviour, and whoever at vrchat is allowing the promotion and creation of ai assisted and ai generated content needs a stern talking to

The silence(and promotion of AI generated content) has been deafening. Just taking a look at trending or top issues(this is second highest voted issue not acknowledged by VRC) speaks volumes to me that they're just hoping they can ignore this.
I can make due with plain menus & made sure to trim down my fav avatars. In the school of "just here because my friends are here" over this.

A big part of the reason I dislike AI generated content so much (as opposed to just a normal amount) is...
The fact it's forced on us and we have to do the "is it AI" guessing game if we want to engage with and support content created by traditional creatives.
This won't be a full fix, but it's at least step in the right direction.
I'd be really sad to see VRChat descend into slop - unfortunately if there are no incentives put in place to slow it down then it's going to be hard to avoid.

Seeing VRchat continue to ignore this issue is downright infuriating. Even going as far as to recommend a blatant slop world on their social media? They know exactly what they're doing.
I've joined the many others in cancelling my VRC+ (did so a while ago), at the VERY least until all of this is addressed.
Shame on you, VRChat. Creators- real, HUMAN creators- made your platform what it is and this is how you repay them? By spitting in their face and showing them that everything they do doesn't matter to you in the slightest?
Absolutely shame on you. Listen to your users for once.

Slop in every tab, slop recommended by VRChat.
It's such a depressive look of the game. I was a vivid explorer of worlds but I don't even browse the Worlds tab anymore. Get your shit together

Moved my financial support to an Open-Source project until this is addressed

If it's going to be around, I want to know so I can avoid it.
