"Steam has added AI disclosures to games that use the tech, but right now they're near the bottom of a game's store page and by the time you see it, you've already scrolled over the whole listing and wasted your time. If you use Chrome or Firefox as your browser, however, there's now a way to get that warning up front."
"When installed, the extension activates on Steam store pages that have AI disclosures on them, bringing the disclosure front and center on your screen and blurring out the background until you close out the popup. This will save you some time, money, and sanity because it will keep you from spending too long on Steam pages with slop on them."
"Though Valve says the AI disclosure is mandatory for any game on Steam, it's easy for it to escape notice if you're not actively looking for it every time you open a store page. The only inconvenient part of this is that, if you're someone who typically browses Steam through its own launcher rather than a browser, you won't be able to use it."
Steam displays AI disclosures on games using generative AI technology, but these warnings appear at the bottom of store pages, often going unnoticed. A new browser extension called "AI warning on Steam" addresses this problem by prominently displaying AI disclosures at the top of game pages and blurring the background until dismissed. Created by seeeeew, the extension works on Chrome and Firefox browsers and helps users avoid AI-generated content, particularly useful during Steam's Next Fest event featuring numerous demos with AI-generated assets. While Valve mandates AI disclosures for all Steam games, the extension ensures visibility. The tool only functions in web browsers, not Steam's launcher application.
