Slop-Inator Extension Flags Steam Games That Use Generative AI
The open-source tool adds colour-coded badges to Steam store, sale and demo pages, with red marking confirmed AI use and green marking none.
A browser extension called Slop-Inator has been released to flag Steam games that use generative AI, according to PCGamesN. The open-source tool adds colour-coded badges to Steam pages, including store, sale and demo listings.
The badge system has three states: a red badge indicates confirmed AI use, a green badge indicates no AI use, and a white badge means the status is unknown.
In the developer's own example, Arc Raiders, the extraction shooter from Embark Studios, carries a red badge for AI voiceover. Embark has said it is looking to replace the game's AI voiceover and NPC performances with actual actors.
Slop-Inator is available for Chrome and Firefox on Windows. Its developer, Elanis, plans to expand the extension to other sites, including itch.io.
The release follows an earlier extension named "AI warning for Steam", which also flags AI use on Steam. Valve operates Steam but has not commented on the new tool in the information provided.
