Question About 'AI-Generated' Tag Policy for Code Templates

Hello,
I’m planning to put one of my code templates up for sale on Fab, but I have a question before doing so.

Should I mark it as “AI-generated” if the code was AI-assisted? What I mean is: I used AI mostly to generate boilerplate code for specific classes, which I then modified manually. In some cases, the AI-generated code was good enough that I left most of it as-is, only updating the comments to help me understand it better (which I also consider a good exercise to ensure I grasp the AI’s output).

To my knowledge, any advanced algorithms used are common knowledge (like the A* pathfinding algorithm or grid partitioning optimizations), so copyright shouldn’t be an issue.

I haven’t seen many projects on Fab tagged as AI-generated, yet I know plenty of developers use AI in their workflow. I just want to do the right thing and make sure I’m complying with the platform’s policy.

Also, I’ve noticed a lot of negativity around AI-generated 3D models, and I wonder: who would actually buy content labeled “AI-generated”? It gives the impression that anyone could just subscribe to an AI service and recreate something similar with a few prompts…

Has anyone who published code seen their sales drop after marking their work as AI-generated?

If nobody can answer the question, is there a way for me to contact somebody from epic that could answer my question about the AI-Generated tag for code project.

After a lot of reflection, I’ve decided to rewrite all the modules that were mostly done by AI. I did manually correct the final results and strongly guided the code generation, but hey, I’m siding with caution here. I initially did this to save time, but frankly, it’s just not worth it. From now on, I’ll only use AI for research and brainstorming.

This is the way :). Tbh, it’s kind of a minefield in many ways for now. E.g., it could output you a GPL code and you wouldn’t be even aware of that.
