"An outright ban will not eliminate AI from the modding process," Nexus Mods say as they rule out barring generated creations from their site

Nexus Mods ruled out an outright ban on AI-generated mods being uploaded to its site, opting instead to expand its existing rules requiring modders to disclose how they used AI in creating their mods. The decision follows a daily influx of AI-created or AI-thumbnailed mods, and Nexus Mods said "an outright ban will not eliminate AI from the modding process." The site has previously split its generative-AI mod tagging policy into three labels to give downloaders more specific search filtering.

This latest move to address the waves of AI-created or AI-thumbnailed mods now hitting Nexus Mods on a daily basis follows Nexus' modus operandi up to this point, which has been simply to try and ensure AI usage is clearly labelled so prospective downs can make informed decisions.
