ADD Do Not Show "AI Generated" Filter on Marketplace
tracked
Moon Haunting
Please add a required bool while creating a Marketplace listing that asks the creator to disclose if AI generative tools were used in part/all of the products creation. Add this bool to the 'Do Not Show' section of the Marketplace search filter. Allow listings to be reported if they do not honestly disclose this.
----
For the health of the market we need the use of AI tools to be disclosed by creators.
I would prefer personally that no AI generation be supported. I understand that tolorance of it is an effort to avoid censorships slippery slope, and is complicated by the sheer variation of AI tools that currently exist. But regardless of opinions or complications, it's existance cannot be ignored.
So lets focus on what can be done, by giving some power of choice to the consumer instead.
Users should be provided a way to choose products with or without AI generation while shopping, and naturally creators who choose not to disclose or to lie should face the same reportability and moderation as any other creator that would choose to lie while listing.
The moderation half of this should not necessarily focus on trying to prove the use of AI gen tools, it doesn't actually need to. Creators who have done the work to provide support and actually prepare the AI generated content for its use in SL are unlikely to warrent being reported, and should not need to lie about the useage anyway. It is products that blatantly lack support, have egregious LOD & LI values that would be inclined to lie, and would want to be reported by users, this is the same for ANY product currently listed.
If you buy it, and you don't get what was described, it should be reportable, the same goes for AI generated products, AI generated should not get a pass because you have to 'prove' something first, when the fact remains that you didn't get what thought you bought.
So do not focus on "did you use a tool?" focus on "can you fix & support the product?" If it can't be supported, then disclose it was made via AI generation and move on.
This is a similar complication to full perm and gacha resales, but also ripped models, copybot etc, in they will all lack support due to not being made directly by the creator of the listing. There is a big difference between fullperm & gacha resale vs ripping & botting, and that difference is honest disclosure.

I keep seeing users selling "PBR materials" with impossible properties on the marketplace such as tesellation, heigh displacement, IOR and other things the current engine cannot physically do. You cannot get raised geometry from a simple PBR material on SL, it requires additional shader support that is not implemented in LL's engine.
This is plainly false advertising facilitated by the ease of AI generated images, there should be no room for product photos taken outside of the engine or generated procedurally in a way that masks the reality of the product for sale, this is not at all representative of what SL looks like.
We're so beyond the point of being able to manually moderate any of this garbage the MP is becoming less and less reliable as a shopping platform and turning into a minefield.

PLEASE yes! Or better yet, get rid of it entirely! It's false advertising at best and flat out stealing at worst! It's basically made the market place unusable!

AI Catagorizing - For people who Create AI Content. And creators who have no interest in looking at it.
Im Strange
Because AI generated content has become increasingly prevalent throughout the Marketplace, I believe there should be a dedicated AI category for creators who choose to use or purchase AI-generated products.
Having a clearly designated AI section would allow those who are interested in AI-generated content to find it easily, while giving customers who prefer traditional, non-AI-created content the option to browse the Marketplace without having AI products and imagery scattered throughout other categories.
One of my biggest concerns is that AI-generated promotional images can significantly enhance the appearance of an item beyond what it actually looks like in world. This can create unrealistic expectations for customers, particularly when the Marketplace advertisement looks substantially better or different from the actual product.
Personally, I do not have an interest in viewing or purchasing AI generated imagery or products on the Marketplace. I believe a dedicated AI category would be a reasonable solution that gives creators the freedom to use AI while also allowing customers to choose whether they want to engage with that content.
Being a creator myself i have no desire in looking at AI content. That is just a personal preference.

Require labels on sales, objects, and/or in the upload form for ai generated mesh
Morri Mode
Require labels on sales, objects, and/or a tick box in the upload form for ai generated mesh. typical ai generations load more and more stress onto the grid due to huge numbers of complexity and overall topology. we can reduce its impact by educating creators and consumers on the effects of overloaded mesh, and also provide transparency for hand crafted creations vs generated.

I'd rather it be banned, but this is a step forward.

I am commenting to leave support for this idea. While I would personally prefer AI content to be banned altogether, having the ability to filter it out would provide a much better marketplace experience for users.

The marketplace is now full of grifters selling slop. It's pretty much unusable.

Until LL addresses this huge oversight, one workaround is to use Ublock Origin browser extension to HIDE search results from sellers whose products you don't want to see.
Personally, I do this to block dozens of A.I. slop sellers, those that use deceptive A.I. photos, and all gacha stuff.
I won't post any example custom filters here, as they may not be allowed by the PowersThatBe.

Require Mandatory Disclosure and Labeling Identifying Sales Goods Created in Whole or Part with Generative AI
Mao Lemieux
Let's invent a label - something simple, like "GenAI was used in whole or part in this object's manufacture" and then /require/ creators/vendors to label all of their relevant sales items with it.
Let this label also be a tag or flag as part of an object's or sales vendor's properties, so that Residents don't have to struggle to know if an object is GenAI-"containing."
Let this also be a tag or flag on the MP and in any other searchable interface where it makes sense to exist, so that Residents may include or exclude GenAI items in their search results.
GenAI is not going anywhere. The ethics of its use are a separate matter. But Residents have a right to be informed of the tool's use in the creation of their purchased items, just as we have a right to know whether a food IRL has been genetically modified. Let Residents be advised of the use of GenAI to create purchasable goods, and thereby purchase according to their own preference.
Please disregard, and accept my apology, if this issue has already been discussed/addressed. Thank you.

There has been SO MANY scam listings/straight up stolen products being sold by obscene amounts of lindens with AI generated ads that it turned searching anything in marketplace into a nightmare. It's absurd that those listings are still up and that we can't hide AI products.
