So today I found this cool project on Codeberg and wanted to share it with you!
https://codeberg.org/robida/human.json
It is meant to build a web of people confirming they are human, so you can have a root of trust that extends! In this age where many just post AI slop, this is great!
That is why I also implemented it already on my blog, which is hosted on Codeberg pages!

@Wolkensteine it would be neat to make it more holistic, so it also extends to art, code, translations and such

i don't want to be exposed to genai anything

@lumi
Yeah, currently that can only do webpages, and also on a per-domain basis, if I understood correctly. But at least for web content independent of the type, this could at least help identify quality content.

Do you have an idea how one could extend this to stuff outside just webpages? Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

[lumi@snug.moe]

@Wolkensteine well, the point here is a web of trust. human.json could be extended to vouch that nothing in the site was made with genai; not the code, not the artwork, not the translations, nothing at all

for code this could be difficult in the short term, we need to inform non-programmers about how genai is being used in code and how they can find ways to publish where they can be reasonably certain the project is against genai

but i think a human.json like that would be fine for websites

now, if we are talking about sites where content is hosted but the people on the site are not the ones running the site, it gets more thorny

i do think we should have code forges, art websites, etc that completely ban genai in their ToS and vouch for things that way

in case of code, we also could have a file like VALUES.md which contains the values of the project. i have been thinking about this for a while now, and when i have the spoons will be drafting templates for it, such that projects can easily get a policy with a full ban on genai (as well as being inclusive, anti-capitalist, and all the other good stuff)

@Wolkensteine it would be very nice if @Codeberg could make a stand here, but i am also aware it can be difficult to enforce such a policy. so i feel enforcement should only be done in obvious cases and after repeated warnings

genai boosters tend to be very obvious about it and they would rather leave the platform than not be able to promote their abusive tech, so that does make enforcement a bit easier

it's also better that they have to lie about their usage of it than that they can be proud of it

this is something i would love to have a discussion on with other people, to try and create a sane policy that will not affect innocent projects
