I don't like the "Human-made" badging trend
11 hours ago
- The author is skeptical of "Done by Humans" and "not by AI" badges, seeing them as unnecessary, ineffective, and potentially misleading.
- The badges are easily copied and not properly vetted, undermining their value as a guarantee of human-made content.
- AI overuse is seen as a symptom of late-stage capitalism, and badges do not address root causes like profit-driven incentives.
- Both "not by AI" and "Done by Humans" have ties to the AI industry, contradicting their anti-AI stance (e.g., allowing up to 10% AI use).
- The author views these badges as "human-washing," akin to greenwashing, commodifying human creativity for capitalist gain.
- Handmade work is valuable, but the solution lies in genuine human connection rather than third-party badges or declarations.
