Re: No AI Badges
2 min read
I really love when people use old school image badges on their websites. It's a real throwback to the old web. So my interest was piqued when I saw Andy's post about some icons they created.
No AI Badges — Want to show visitors to your site that your content is human made and doesn't use AI? Grab my badge pack for FREE (or pay as much as you want).
AI use has been on my mind a lot, and there's a raging discussion happening in the circles I follow, so I'm wondering what most people think is the right amount of non-AI use to qualify a person for the badges.
I'm really not trying to play devil's advocate or be a pedantic asshole. I'm truly curious what people participating in the AI debate think is the right level of usage to qualify for the badges.
- Can a person use AI to write a blog post about the benefits of AI?
- Obviously, no, this person should not think they can use the badges.
- Can a person use AI to review a blog post they wrote themselves but they just want help with spelling, grammar, and clarity?
- I don't know on this one. I bet most people would say no, this person cannot use the badge.
- Can a person use AI to help build their website?
- I don't know on this one either. Should only web developers be allowed to have personal websites? Must they use Wordpress or Bear only because they don't have the technical chops to build a site using a static site generator?
From there, the scenarios only get grayer. Can a person get AI help on these things and still use the badge?
- Server setup
- Server review
- Research questions
I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that many of the people I follow and admire on the Fediverse/IndieWeb will say ZERO AI use is the only correct level of AI use to qualify for the badges.
