Fedi Hive Mind - What should software free of AI be labeled?
-
@mastodonmigration Yes! I have seen some artists use a variation of this as an emoji.
-
@mastodonmigration I know genAI is more accurate but since companies use "AI" as a marketing term, I feel like it's appropriate to use it in any anti imagery as well.

Something like this? Excuse the sloppy production, just to showcase the idea.
@mastodonmigration @AimeeMaroux Keep it simple. Thinner red lines.

Yeah, not a graphic artist at all. This is just to get the concept out. If anyone with some skill wants to jump in that would be great.Edit: Perhaps we could ask Claude to generate one? /s

@mastodonmigration @lauren @AimeeMaroux Simple is effective. This works.

Fedi Hive Mind - What should software free of AI be labeled?
A decision by @Blender to take money from Anthopic, and a policy by @redox to ban all LLM generated code spotlights the question.
Other industries have used badging like Sugar Free, Low Tar, Alcohol Free, 100% Cotton, and Organic.
What's a good label for code that is certified free of any LLM generated code?
So far suggestions include: AI Free, Organic Code, Not By AI, LLM Free, 100% Human, No LLM, No AI
Thoughts? Ideas?
@mastodonmigration @Blender @redox
“AI Free” seems the clearest to me.
“No AI” kind of sounds like you just don’t like AI.
I would suggest simplicity and clarity, and not get too clever, but I realize I’m on Mastodon and talking to free software folks.

In the spirit of brainstorming:
-OriginalAI (Actual Intelligence)
-Made with Biodegradable Developers
-Analog Developed
-Lovingly Handcoded -
"Human Certified"
@mastodonmigration @viennawriter I don't like anything with "human" in it though, because it isn't a matter of species. For the moment, we know no other species that writes code, makes music etc, but if we encounter one that does, their creations are equally valid. (Yes, also if it's a robot like the ones in sci fi, I think.) It's about how it was made and not by whom. That said, a hand is also a bit human-centric.

After sitting with it a while, agree. It feels like "human" has kind of a yuck factor used in this context. Leaning toward "AI Free" or "GenAI Free"

@mastodonmigration Putting the 'human made' inside the circle is confusing. Looks almost like it's banning human-made. Perhaps that text should be outside the circle? Things in the circle are banned!

@pre @mastodonmigration You need two logos, certified human, and certified AI free.

First rule of brainstorming is that there are no bad ideas, and the second rule is no disparaging anyone's contributions.
If you read down here you may find suggestions that are half formed, but may lead your thoughts in a new direction. That's the process. We are all friends here. Let's noodle this one together.
OK team, what do we think of this?

@mastodonmigration I still don't like the word "GenAI" in there. After the logo above clearly says "no AI", the text saying "GenAI" suggests weasel-wording to the effect of "there might be some other sort of AI in here that we're not telling you about".
To a normie audience, the scope of "GenAI" isn't clear. They might think it just means slop that originated from a small prompt, not "paraphrasing", "grammar correction", "summarization", "style change", "visual filters", "resolution enhancement", etc. that are all technically "generative" (confabulating bullshit details out of the statistical models) but which normies don't necessarily think of as such.

Good points. Thanks.

I would like to disparage the bad idea that whether or not your code is slop should be represented by a trade industry style advertising campaign

Why? Curious about your thinking here?

Generally agree. Trying to find the right words. "Human Made" and "LLM Free" have been suggested, but somehow seem clunky.
