VRChat has decided against labeling artificial intelligence content on its platform, despite a user survey in which nearly all respondents said they wanted some kind of marker. In a support post, the company said 95 percent of survey respondents want a label that identifies AI usage. VRChat said it will not implement one at this time.
VRChat is an app for creating and sharing virtual worlds and hosting social interactions. The company is still considering two options. The post says VRChat will continue weighing a label for "Human-authored" content and a "Tools used" field, but it has not committed to either.
Will VRChat Add an AI-Generated Content Label?
The company is drawing a firm line on other options, though. VRChat will not add a tag for labeling AI-generated content. It also will not add a filter that would remove AI content from search results.
Why Is VRChat Avoiding AI Labels?
The reasoning comes down to how people might use a label. "While we think some creators would honestly label their content, we think others would try to pass off generative or assisted work as completely authored by hand," the company said. It also warned that labels could encourage "sleuthing" behavior, in which users try to sniff out AI content or harass creators who are not using AI tools at all.
What Will VRChat Change Instead?
The post avoids taking a side in the broader debate. Its language appears aimed at satisfying people with very different views on AI, rather than adopting a policy that might displease one group. In its place, VRChat said it would pursue changes that have "alignment across the community." Those include more accurate thumbnails, better discovery tools and "quality as a core metric."
The decision comes as VRChat faces a mixed reputation. The platform has been used in filmmaking and to build safe communities for transgender people. It has also been accused of hosting toxic and predatory behavior.
