Tj Pepler - Critcher Posted July 17 Report Posted July 17 As I have stated before I use AI in a limited capacity when creating my mods, I have switched completely to local models being powered by my own power bill and none of my tools are powered beyond inception by a data center BUT, I still report my AI use via tag, as required by the Mod Db. So I add the AI tag and, as expected, I have had a drop in downloads, no problem. But the issue is that a lot of people I have talked to who are anti AI don't have a problem at all with local models and AI that is not powered by a data center. The funny thing is that the local models (IMHO) actually CAN'T produce a proper functioning mod on their own anyways, they are a reference tool and handy helper only. My question was about the possibility of having a local AI tag and a Data center AI tag? I know some people are anti AI across the board but there are many who don't have a problem with local models and they may miss out on mods they would enjoy because of the blanket coverage. Does anyone in this community see a difference as well?

Honestly this is a far broader issue then AI run locally or in the cloud, the type of AI (AI is actually a very broad term that contains many things people don't think of when they hear the word) and how it's used also matter. I've made posts about this before on the vintage story discord server, but I would really like to see this tag properly split up with it's own layered sub tags.

You know what, I didn't actually see it, I saw the tag was there and assumed that it was intended to be used, but you are right, I never did see a requirement.
