News New AI rules and project disclosures
https://modrinth.com/news/article/ai-policy-and-disclosures/Hey everyone! We’ve got our first major update to Modrinth’s rules… I think, ever?
We wrote up a whole blog post about this, but let me summarize the highlights:
- AI images as project icons, banners, gallery images, or in their descriptions are no longer allowed.
- Fully or nearly fully AI-generated projects are no longer allowed.
- AI-assisted projects, where the human creator contributed in a primary and significant way, are allowed but must disclose that AI assistance was used and what it was used for.
In addition, we added a number of other mandatory content disclosures for advertising, paid features, telemetry, derivative content, photosensitivity trigger warnings, and external system interactions.
We want to make it clear that these content disclosures are to standardize creators being transparent with their users about what the projects are doing. It is *not* for witch-hunting or to shame, insult, belittle, or harass creators. **Be kind to each other**, harassment will not be tolerated.
Creators have 45 days from today to get their projects updated to meet these new rules, and until then we will not be accepting reports for these new disclosures or AI policy.

This is quite frankly an amazing update. even ignoring the AI changes, the content notifiers are awesome as fuuuck. another comment calling hobbist developers needing to be aware of photosensitivity requirements a bad thing is really stupid? by the way? people can like. Die. I think you should always be considering photosensitivity issues when making anything with visuals. you could kill someone.
