Instead of an outright ban, the site will now mandate disclosures from mod creators about their use of AI in development. Users will also have the option to filter out AI-assisted mods from their searches, reflecting a stance that prioritizes transparency and human creativity while acknowledging the presence of AI in the modding process.
