What are your thoughts on this new Modrinth AI policy?
On one hand, I understand the want for transparency and that mods should not be entirely AI generated, since this can prevent the platform from being flooded with poorly made mods that are not even checked once before publishing. On the other, I think any fellow Minecrafters, especially in Horror space, know the issues with many Minecraft mods already. Majority of them are just rip-offs of more popular mods, already poorly made, often have stolen characters from other horror projects, have pretty boring and repetitive gameplay, etc. So the question rises itself, what's even the logic behind it, if the platform is already filled with poor and even stolen content and nothing is done about it? Even applying my logic, it doesn't make sense. How is AI content different from that? Poorly made content is poorly made content, regardless.
Also, I am a bit confused on 6.2 a. Does it really matter whether AI is used for that or no? Most of the time pictures there do not really reflect what's truly in the mod and are just done for visual aspect. It doesn't change nor add much anything to the mods, so why is AI prohibited exactly there?
This new policy is just confusing to me and I have mixed feelings about it, so what are your thoughts?
